I think this show is severely underrated. When solely seen as a Squid Game-themed game show rather as something larger, like an extreme example of the dehumanization of capitalism or whatever that review said, it is quite enjoyable. It is not supposed to be some sort of fictional work of intellect, it is a game show with a Squid Game theme...
To be honest, it is actually better than it ever should have been allowed to and some parts go unnecessarily hard. "War" is by far the best episode. Although the two episodes after that kind of ruin the pacing with some boring filler content and mostly just introductions to new characters, it was a good first half overall.
