Squid Game - Série 1

Season 1 features a great deal of violence, and since the end credits were Korean, I can’t be sure that no actors/actresses were harmed in the making of this show. It’s an interesting show, no doubt about it. There is something in it for lovers of violence as well as more philosophical types, as it was a lot like Sophie's choice at times. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if a similar game became popular in real life. I’m sure there would be no shortage of sponsors or participants. I think there would even be plenty of idiots who would pay to be allowed to stream the contest. I wouldn’t be traumatized if someone like that wouldn’t make it to the next round. I consider the first season a success, despite a few logic holes (I can’t get the egg out of my head). It’s an interesting experience to imagine yourself as one of the contestants. Except for the two Korean women and the grandpa, I didn't like anyone, especially not the main character. I really didn't buy his transformation from a total scumbag to a sensitive humanist. / Lesson learned: If you want to play a game where you die if you lose, forget about your conscience.

A well-deserved hit that might even not need a sequel. (07/05/2022)
