Visually excellent, the dark broody streets of run down neighbourhoods contrasted with the pastel, immaculate high contrast world of the game, Superbly cast and acted, the characters are well written, their desperation made palpable and importantly, all too believable. Kept me invested throughout with episode 6 being one of my favourite and  most emotionally resonant episodes of television I'd seen in a while. Goes a bit off the boil towards the end which was my least favourite part  and almost undoes some of the earlier good work but overall entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable.

A perfect opening and great second episode , is let down by below average follow up episodes , which are unable to achieve the tensions or intrigue presented in earlier episodes. It may be masterpiece for those who have find death game genre through squid game, but the series death game personally didn't do much for me because I have expirenced the games and tension and political commentary from superior servings such as Kaiji and thousands of other death battle manga, Liar Game being the best .

first two episode 10 and 9
middle episode rating average 6
Final episode 5(unnecessarily extending the stale concept)

Overall 6.1/10
