It still hasn’t become Netflix’s most popular TV series, but a Squid Game not long to get on the podium and undermine Bridgerton. Released on September 17, within a few days it became one of the most viewed shows in the world and social networks are teeming with memes with references to the various episodes. For those who, like me, have not finished watching it yet, it is becoming an obstacle course to avoid all the spoilers that are practically everywhere. If, on the other hand, you are in the other slice of the population – the one that has already finished all the episodes and is now looking for a meaning to their life – here are others 5 TV series to watch to miss Squid Game less.
ALICE IN BORDERLAND
It is a series that has passed a bit on the sly: it came out at the end of 2020, but it was not at all the success of Squid Game, although it takes up some themes. Again there is a group of people who participate in a game not for money, but to survive. They are in fact transported to an alternative and dystopian Tokyo and must pass various tests if they do not want to die. If you like it, good news: it’s been renewed for a second season.
3%
Portuguese series from a few years ago, but which is absolutely worth recovering. The protagonists are a group of young people who are trying to overcome tests to be able to conquer a place in the Offshore, an almost fantastic place where only 3% of the world population lives in harmony and well-being. Every year a group of people is given the opportunity to access it, but obviously the price to pay is very high. There are four seasons, from 7 to 10 episodes.
SNOWPIERCER
Based on the film of the same name by the Oscar-winning director, Bong Joon Ho, and re-adaptation of a French comic, the series is set in an apocalyptic future where the Earth is completely frozen and the only way to survive is to get on a train, the Snowpiercer, that travels around the world and generates enough electricity to keep passengers warm. The vehicle is divided into classes and the last ones are also those at the bottom of the food chain where one lives in deprivation and hardship. That is, until the people in the last wagons decide to rebel.
SWEETHOME
Korean TV series always give us emotions and this is for you if you are also a lover of horror. At the center of it all is Cha Hoo Soo, a teenager, the first to understand that Korea is embroiled in a zombie apocalypse. Despite himself, he finds himself at the head of a group of people who, like him, are trying to survive this invasion. To complicate matters, there are also the personal revenge and selfishness that teaches that a non-cohesive group is not the best solution in these cases.
THE SOCIETY
This series takes up one of the staple books of world literature, William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Unlike the novel where a group of kids are trapped on an island, here they find themselves in a ghost town, with no adults, after returning from a school trip. This means having a government, some rules and trying to establish a peaceful coexistence. But do you think it can ever be that easy?
