Why was squid games so popular?

[Stargazer900]

I don’t understand how it gained so much popularity. The show is more violent than most horror movies, and the concept is weird.
I can understand if it got some popularity, but the amount it got truly boggles my mind.

Yeah I don't know the show was pretty good but nothing to go crazy about

The same reason Hunger Games was popular. The violence, and being competitive.

You consider this show violent? I laughed a little on the inside

At this rate, I think people would go nuts about anything
