I just started watching it yesterday. At this point I feel like I can't participate in American cultural society anymore without watching it. :)

Haven't seen Squid Games, but Tiger King is definitely worth it. Was slow in beginning but really picks up.

There are short summaries on YouTube you can watch. I watched one and it seemed quite good. It was about 15 minutes and now I can at least understand references to it.

If it's a good show I don't mind watching the whole thing. So far it's been slow going but I assume it picks up.

It’s starts out pretty brutal with mass death scenes but then about half way it pivots to being more emotionally disturbing with a focus on what the background story is and who is behind it.

The second episode is a little bit slow, a breather to show you more about their lives without a bunch of cheesy flashbacks, but yes it does pick up again after that.

Unpopular Take: It doesn't.

Agree. I found it to be ok, but basically felt like an overstretched black mirror episode IMO.

I hardly watch anything so I am still on the fence. I guess I might check out the short summaries first just to get cultural references. I skipped most series like Breaking Bad and don't feel amiss at all.
