The Squid Game: The idea of playing with the greed of the human being and / or with the desire to live and subjecting it to mortal games to achieve it is not new, far from it. From Hard Target by John Woo and Van Damme to Persecuted by Schwarzenegger, the iconic and controversial Battle Royale or its USA teen light version that was The Hunger Games, seeing people suffering and dying live is attractive, hypnotic.

That is roughly what The Squid Game -revealing more would be a crime-, a Korean series whose creator never thought it was going to become the series -phenomenon of the moment, and possibly the most watched in Netflix history.
