Squid Game season two is set to drop in December, but if you're looking for something to get stuck into in the meantime, people are recommending another Netflix show.
And it's not for the faint-hearted, with one person calling it 'crazy as f**k'.
The Netflix show first aired back in 2020 and has so far had two seasons - so there's plenty to binge watch online.

The first instalment followed the adventures of gamer, Arisu, a Japanese teenager who competes in risky games in order to survive.
Kind of sounds familiar, right?
The sci-fi thriller is based on the manga by Haro Aso and is set in Tokyo.
In the series, Arisu meets Usagi, a woman who is also trying to progress through the games alone.
They decide to work together - but it doesn't come without a series of terrifying risks.
