We talk about it in the playgrounds while it is not recommended for under 16s. We talk about it at work when it can be seen as an anti-capitalist rant. We talk about it among friends while it denounces the dehumanization of our social relations.
Short, Squid Game, the Korean series from Netflix, cultivates paradoxes. The colossal, even historical success of this fiction has become a social phenomenon. So much so that it becomes difficult not to look at her.
There are parents worried that their children are playing – even for laughs – the killing games shown in the series. There are series fans wary of yet another Netflix commercial product who must change their minds and agree to watch it. There are also those who want to be able to participate in the debates on the form of an upcoming sequel and have therefore swallowed the nine episodes.
If either of these are yours, or if you’re intrigued or annoyed by the success of this series, let us know.
