What is Squid Game?
The new Korean TV series quickly knocked period drama Bridgerton off the top spot as the most watched show on Netflix, thanks to its compelling storyline and chilling social commentary.
The synopsis for the show reads: “Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits — with deadly high stakes.”
There are nine episodes of around one hour in length – although episode eight is only 32 minutes – with lots of twists and turns along the way.

What are the Squid Game costumes?
There are a number of iconic outfits in Squid Game which, coupled with its popularity, is clearly why it is likely to become one of the most-worn Halloween costumes this year.
In the show there are two sets of people – the contestants taking part in the game and the soldiers who are in charge of it.
The contestants wear comfortable-looking green tracksuits, with their player number on, while the soldiers wear red jumpsuits and mesh masks to hide their identities.
