I don't think things need to be groundbreaking to be good social commentaries or interesting to watch.

Agreed. The concept of people having to fight to the death might not be groundbreaking on it’s own. But the fact that’s it’s familiar actually means that storytellers can use that audience familiarity as a springboard for new ideas and discussions.

Hook them in with a tried and true premise, but keep them there with what a deeper look into what the premise could actually look like in a more realistic setting, and what that could say about the human condition that might not have been said in the same way before.

Whether it succeeds in this is subjective, of course. But it’s undeniable that that’s what Squid Game is going for, instead of just relying on the violent spectacle of the game.
