20 Best TV Shows Of 2021
2. Squid Game
If this was a popularity contest, Squid Game would definitely top this list. One of the biggest hits of Netflix's back catalogue, the South Korean survival drama follows hundreds of cash-strapped contestants as they enter into a competition that could mean death, or winning all the money they ever wanted.
A word-of-mouth trailblazer that took the world by storm upon its release, Squid Game is a riveting action-thriller bursting with compelling character development and raging satire aimed at modern society's increasing wealth disparities.
Finding a way to balance its horrifying social commentary with its incredibly dark humour and unexpected violence, the series is both bleak and inventive, turning childhood games into life-or-death struggles between souls each as desperate as each other.
Squid Game, with another season on the horizon, is a hit no one expected and even fewer can fault, so much so that it would be #1 here if it wasn't for one other show...
