Squid games isn't remotely gory. In fact it's only a slight step up from nothing. There was only one gory part and that was the glass game.

The old days where baddies died without a drop of blood were pretty bad. It was just cheaper.

The show is good. It's not amazing, but it's good and it wouldn't have made sense to use olden style of "no blood, ever".

And I'm actually quite squeamish, so understand that.
