I watched a new South Korean Netflix miniseries named "Squid Game." It's about a number of men and women who are in debt, and whose lives are in great turmoil, and are given a choice to play a series of children's games in a winner take all tournament. The winner goes home with millions of dollars, and the losers are eliminated in gruesome ways. It's got a Hunger Games feel to it, but because it's 10, one-hour episodes, you really get to know the characters and the paths their lives took to the game.
The series is not for the faint-of-heart. I give it a 7 out of 10 stars. Here's the trailer.
