Is it for me?
Squid Game viewers who would rather watch sword fights with weight will get what they came for. Junichi Okada plays the samurai as a worn man who still dominates every scene, and he choreographs the fights himself. Large brawls with many weapons sit next to slow, weary pauses. The organizers even take bets on who reaches the next checkpoint first.
Before you start
It is split into checkpoints, and the rules are laid out in the first hour, so there is no slow start to wait out.
1 season, 6 episodes, 51 min each, about 5 hours so far
