The Series

It’s a gripping series and we aren’t surprised by its success. Half a thousand people die (it is easy to count) and it has the curious appealing of combining all the elements necessary to be captivating. It’s skillful, it has well defined characters, it’s well managed and… you can’t stop watching it.

It has an uneven pace, it takes a while to start (it happens in some productions of the network), but as the episodes develop, the plot goes in crescendo and ends up fascinating us with its perverse touches mixed with childish games.

It stands out for the skill of its script and its construction. In addition, it allows itself to play creatively with visual formulas, if not very novel, at least effective.

Surprises, twists, changes of pace…

It has a lot of rhythm and attractiveness in its main characters and manages to combine all its arcs successfully.

When something works, it works, and The Squid Game has worked like a charm.

We have watched it with delight.

Tremendously skillful.
