South Korea has conquered the music scene

with

musical

groups like BTS, from the so-called K-Pop;

later he did

the same in cinema when

Parasites won

the Oscar

for Best Film ... years after other feature films surprised at festivals around the world.

Now the time has come when

a series,

The Squid Game

, triumphs around the world thanks to the Netflix algorithm. A

violent, surprising

production

with an aesthetic

that has nothing to envy to other products created in the USA.

The Squid Game,

in its

9 episodes

, develops a

fantastic story

that is very reminiscent of

The Hunger Games

. But actually, it is closer to the plots of

Battle Royale

and

Alice in Borderland

. Here, a group of

citizens who have a very bad time in their lives

are selected to participate in

such violent tests

that only one of them can get out alive. A very macabre game created by a perverse mind to the delight of

rich people who contemplate everything from a distance.

Hundreds of participants,

colorful scenarios

created for the occasion and a very simple rule: whoever resists wins and takes a pot so big as to forget about their debts forever.

Meanwhile, the tests are getting complicated,

inspired by children's games

that all those poor players remember well.

But

is

The Squid Game

as good

as it sounds

?

If we take as a starting point the morbid situation it raises, it is irresistible.

As long as

attending violent scenes in which blood spurts is

not a problem, yes.

Who warns is not a traitor ... That and its

remarkable production design

would be the most outstanding notes.

So, with a script that goes straight to the point (that is, to the action),

in this series there had to be human stories

. A hook that every good

current

reality

television should use for the

viewer to empathize with the protagonists

and that here makes us find

broke

brokers, separated parents without a clear horizon, elderly people with too many ailments or petty thieves. The social criticism is so obvious that it is not worth mentioning that the

individualistic drift of our society

is criticized

.

On the negative side,

the (over) performances of its actors

, who seem amateurs

, certainly

draw attention

.

And that anyone who has seen the aforementioned

Battle Royale

,

The Hunger Games

or

Alice in Borderland

may think that we are facing an

adaptation, tribute or copy

, depending on whether you want to be politically correct or not.
