Life imitating art or art imitating life?

I'm so silly. I thought it was fictional.

Did they not watch the series?

Short of killing those who didn't win, it's interesting how close they made it to the game from the series.

Wasn’t that the whole point of the show? It was supposed to incredibly cruel & rigged. It was a metaphor for capitalism. What did they expect?

All ‘reality’ shows are fixed duh.

This isn’t shocking to anyone who watched Squid Game
