Despite the government's best efforts to censor all capitalist and "Western" content, reports emerged last week that many North Korean citizens were secretly watching Squid Game through copies that had been smuggled into the country. North Korea decried the show shortly after its release, publicly declaring the show an indictment of South Korea's capitalist system. The series has been praised for, among other things, its critique of capitalism and its exploration of the divide between the various South Korean social strata. The show follows a group of poor South Korean citizens who accept invitations to compete in a series of children's games with deadly stakes in an attempt to win a huge cash prize. The series, which recently became Netflix's most-watched original series ever, took the world by storm upon its release back in September. A man who smuggled pirated copies of Squid Game into North Korea has been sentenced to death.
