Squid Game The Challenge first reviews: Gripping, exploitative reality TV defeats 2021 K-Drama's capitalism critique..

The reviews, however, point out the irony of its exploitative format...

Squid Game: The Challenge, a spin-off reality show of the 2021 Emmy Award-winning K-drama is dropping on Netflix on Wednesday..

That reality television itself is an artifact of late-stage capitalism only underscores the point, states the review of Vulture, also refuting the criticism that Squid Game: The Challenge is exploitative..

IGN echoes a similar thought through its review, Especially since any criticism about how The Challenge simulates the violence depicted in Squid Game can be brushed off with its all just fun and games, theres no real incentive to consider some of the shows negative connotations..
