This twisted new Netflix original series is leaving viewers utterly speechless

Sometimes it feels like South Korea makes TV shows as if the fate of the country depends on it. Or at least partly depends on it. Like Alice, I've found myself tumbling down a rabbit hole of the country's best TV series during the pandemic -- everything from Vincenzo to Crash Landing on You, Vagabond, and much more. There's almost never a second season, and each episode tends to be more than one hour long, with movie-quality visuals and effects. In fact, watching a great Korean show feels like you're watching 16 or so movies over the course of a season. Netflix, no surprise, is spending an insane amount of money to ramp up its Korean productions because interest in them continues to grow. And a new one on the streamer right now has everyone talking. That's because the newly released Squid Game Netflix series is like nothing you've seen on TV. Prepare yourself, and then check out the trailer below.
