A major protagonist is a cop and is trying to uncover the squid games to cops but is not believed. Cops are also shown in a negative light. There is heavy themes and flashbacks of police brutality as well as police and plain clothes police abusing their power over civilians shown in a “funny” light when what they are doing is immoral at best
