💨 Abstract

The article critiques *Squid Game: The Challenge*, a reality show based on the dystopian drama, where 456 contestants compete for $4.56 million. Initially skeptical, the author found the first season surprisingly engaging, as it explores themes of financial desperation and human nature without the original’s brutality. The second season, premiering November 4, continues this exploration through intense games and emotional backstories, though pacing issues arise.
