Puzzle Description:
Squid Games looks like an easy costume, like this easy puzzle

Am I the only person on Earth who knows nothing about this, or never seen it?#2: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 19, 2021 [SPOILER]
Ha! Maybe so.#3: Yonah Kondor (yokon965) on Oct 19, 2021 [HINT] [SPOILER]
Bill, it's from The Squid Game, a Korean show that's taking Netflix by storm.

We tried watching the first episode last night. It got too violent for me (I have a low tolerance for watching violence) and I wandered away. My oldest kept watching and says it's not my cup of tea. :-S#5: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Oct 19, 2021 [SPOILER]
We've also been working our way through watching M*A*S*H. I'm amused that the show set in the middle of a war is gentle and non-violent, while the show about a kids' game is more violent than I can handle.#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 19, 2021 [SPOILER]
My two-word review of the Squid Game is "bloody depressing." It's super depressing and super bloody.#7: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Oct 19, 2021 [SPOILER]
But it is compelling, and I watched the whole thing.
No, Bullet, you are not the only one who knows nothing about this movie on Netflix. But after reading about it online, I know I will never watch it. Don't like violent gore. Give me a good G rated movie anytime. Ha ha.#8: CB Paul (cbpaul) on Oct 19, 2021 [SPOILER]
I've heard of it, but figured early on that it's not my thing. Now that I read your notes, yup, not my thing.#9: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Oct 19, 2021
As for this puzzle, I was ready for a mask. Silly me!
Great illustration. Poor movie. Very doable puzzle with no guessing.#10: gregg licht (lgreg) on Oct 20, 2021 [SPOILER]
I also knew nothing about this show, but based on the above I will give it a pass. Thanks for the puzzle. While solving I thought it was going to be someone with a covid face mask, the cheapest costume ever.#11: besmirched tea (Besmirched Tea) on Oct 20, 2021 [SPOILER]
Squid Game is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.#12: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on Oct 22, 2021
It is pretty violent.
Reminded me of the old Japanese film Battle Royale (USA version was called Hunger Games)
My two cents worth -- I also know nothing about Squid Games, and very little about squids, for that matter. Per comment #10 -- I was thinking about painting a smile on my mask -- perhaps getting a flesh colored mask -- and going as a "maskless" trick-or-treator. Oh, well -- probably a year too late to be scary.
