I've got the final episode of Squid Game to go (don't @ me).
There are other questions one might want to ask about this show, but I just can't get beyond how incredibly awful the rich guests are. Lee Jung-jae (Player 456) is acting his socks off, and then those scenes with... randos they picked […]

[End of S02 of The Last of Us]
Just finished The Last of Us, Season 2. I've not played the games, so I didn't know what was coming up and I really wasn't ready for it. In fact, the ending mostly made us go "huh?"
