Squid Game - What is going on?

  I'm sure you already heard about Squid Game , also known as Round 6 in some countries. If you didn't… Well, it's not possible. It is a true phenomenon in the streaming platform Netflix , and it has been a target for polemics. Why? Squid game is a Korean show about a group of people playing children's games in a deadly version to earn money. With the right amount of mystery, drama, and action, the show is about to make the title of most-watched ever on the platform. The Chosen Ones When I first started watching the show, I found it a bit creepy. My reaction to the first episode was, "Wow, what the hell?"

The show doesn’t stop surprising us. Even when you think you already f...

  This show had a very positive evolution. It grew, improved, and approached a lot of topics that many would consider taboo . Check the previous review here . This season starts with a significant change at Moordale’s - Hope, the new head-teacher. She may look nice in the first 5 minutes, but you’ll quickly realize she is there to make the students’ life very difficult.  Relationships are more than sex The show always focused on the complexity of relationships, and despite its title, it talks about more than sex. To build a relationship, you must learn to listen, understand and deal with the other person. You need to discover them. The problem is, when you’re a teenager, you don’t know who you are yet. How would you be able to focus on others?  Have you ever felt weird? Sure. Who never, right? But do you remember the dimension those feelings could gain when you’re a teen?  There are more than boys and girls Gender identity is the new topic of the season. As usually ...
