Even a year after its release on Netflix, Squid Game remains a cultural phenomenon, one of the streaming platform’s most popular show. It’s enjoyed both popular and critical succes - most recently, it’s star Lee Jung-jae won the Emmy for the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his character Seong Gi-Hun, and it cleaned up earlier this year at the 2022 Screen Actor Guild Awards.

The South Korean drama tells the story of people who have failed in life in various ways, but suddenly receive a mysterious invitation to participate in a survival game to win 45.6 billion won (£28.2 million).

The characters in the show range from the players themselves to those who oversee their desperate attempts to get out of poverty - and ultimately decide who wins and who dies.
