Did I miss the Squid Game topic? *Spoilers maybe after first post*

It was good.

Finale spoilers: I wish the ending didnt undercut episode 6 so hard

I mean there was a ton of hints about something being amiss with 001. He wasn't picked up by the red light, green light motion detector. His yelling stopped the riots which was the only time he was at risk of death. He wasn't cuffed to the tug of war rope like everyone else. He wasn't in the contestants book that started at 002. They never showed his body after his death and after the gunshot it asked if he enjoyed playing.

The only time he seemed genuinely scared was when the intruder alarm went off to show something was wrong with the games themselves. I guess maybe the riots too, I'd have to rewatch to see if there was a sign of him always being safe

I personally didn't pick up on all of them but noticed quite a few and then rest came up in discussions with friends.

I do agree that him being dead would also have been fine for the story too but we always had the mystery of who the host was since the front man made a point to say he was preoccupied with something else. So I was fine with either result.
