Netflix's “Squid Game: The Challenge,' promises a social experiment and $4.56 million for the winner, but some fans say the series disregards the show's message.
, news of a competition series inspired by the Korean drama has prompted criticism from some fans who say the premise misses the mark.
“The game is intended to represent the commodification of suffering by privileged people, and how watching people struggle for money and their lives is seen as entertainment for people who will never have to experience such things,” said Mika Winder, 16, of Oregon. “Making a real life version goes against the entire message of the original show in an almost comical way.
For some fans of"Squid Game," like Dracy Peters, the reality competition series is an opportunity to"have fun."
