I am going to confess something to you: I have not seen the squid game. I know who It’s HoYeon Jung, I know it was the phenomenon of 2021 and I even know how the series ends, but I couldn’t get past the first chapter. Instead my ex loved her. She saw it almost immediately.
That’s why I know the recommendation for this week would freak you out. And not because I have spoken with him, I am closely following the tips to get over a break up and one of them is zero contact, but because today’s miniseries has a very the squid game but mixed with saga of saw.
The media killer (Copycat killer)
Let’s start with the synopsis to get into the matter: “A serial killer takes advantage of the media interest in his murders, manipulating his victims, police and the media, turning the murders into a media spectacle.” Although we always prefer to see than read, so here goes the trailer.
Now let’s analyze what we’ve seen: a serial killer who looks like the older brother of the doll of the squid gamemany games with good gore as in sawand if we look at the series more closely, we even intuit a criticism of the media attention that we are experiencing, and that has become clear, for example, with Gwyneth Paltrow’s trial.
We love what Asia has brought to us lately, starting with parasites and continuing with romantic comedies as fresh as Romantic Killer (one of best netflix miniseries ever), and This Taiwanese miniseries, a very intense police thriller, It is one more that is added to the list of reasons why we have fallen in love with everything that has to do with Asian countries.
Directed by Henri Chang and Chang Jung-Chi and with a script by the Japanese Miyuki Miyabe, it is the perfect series to get hooked on this Easter. A warning: if you start watching it, you may miss a day at the beach or a procession because it is really addictive.
