The Korean TV series “Squid Game” has been a sensation since it debuted on Netflix in September. The twisty thriller — about an assortment of desperate debtors who risk their lives in a series of supercharged children’s games, in hopes of winning a big cash prize — has hooked audiences with its fantastical sets and costumes, its cliffhanger-heavy plotting and its pointed commentaries on human nature and class struggle.

There are only nine “Squid Game” episodes (for now, anyway); so it’s easy to binge the whole series in just a few days. But then what? Where can viewers turn for more exciting, imaginative scenes of people degrading themselves for money and survival?

There are some hit movies with obvious parallels to this show, including “Saw,” “The Hunger Games” and (from Japan) “Battle Royale.” But the six films and TV series below — all available to stream — are somewhat deeper cuts, and in most cases are a few shades more extreme than “Squid Game.” They all share some of the thornier themes that have made the series such a hot topic of conversation.
