As one of the products of contemporary mass culture, the series Squid Game has attracted attention with its global socio-sociological impacts. Within this framework, our study reveals that the series is not limited to the critique of economic inequality and capitalist relations but also encompasses less explored themes such as collective resistance, mechanisms of control in everyday life, trust, solidarity, and the normalization of violence. Content analysis was used as the main method, with the script of the series examined episode by episode through the frequency analysis of key words. The results show that the use of words such as “I,” “we,” and “they” reflects the fluctuation between individualism and solidarity, while the words “money,” “to win,” and “to lose” highlight the dominant role of economic motivation in capitalist relations. On the other hand, the notions of “trust,” “help,” and “death” are explained within the frameworks of social capital, uncertainty in modernity, and structural constraints. The study employs theoretical perspectives such as Bourdieu’s concept of capital, Bauman’s theory of “liquid modernity,” Giddens’s structuration theory, and Baudrillard’s concept of simulacra. The analysis demonstrates that the series is not merely a form of entertainment but also serves as a laboratory for explaining the social structures, power relations, and cultural transformations of contemporary societies. This, in turn, allows for a deeper understanding of the resonance created by the series in global popular culture and its contribution to sociological discourse.
