Review of  Naechan Naechan
The benchmark to compare the show to is, of course, Squid Game. But The 8 show has higher - and more blatantly declared - ambitions in denouncing, taking them to the extreme, the perverse mechanisms of reality shows, those of contemporary society, based on money and privilege, and finally, fundamentally, those of the human being - creator of both that society and reality shows - a civilized beast that takes nothing to transform into a sadistic beast: just offer it a lot of money, and the possibility of exercising power over its peers. - human beings of which, let's be clear, the audience of the TV series is also part of, a civilized audience who, however, enjoys series like this calmly in their armchair. Just like the audience of the game show of the series. And so it remains to be seen how much of the ostentatious unpleasantness of the series - which is not all that truculent, but is certainly pleased with its own violence - is functional to the theme of social denunciation and how much, instead, is a morbid wink at the worst instincts of the viewing public real. A couple of times, I felt like they were pushing their hand a little too hard, but I have a notoriously weak stomach 😅😊The technical section is good, with a minimal but well thought out scenography. The actors are good, managing to give substance to characters who deliberately remain stereotypes almost until the end. Some forcing in the script which however remains solid. It's not a masterpiece and it's not a series I'll revisit, but if the topic interests you, there are worse ways to spend a couple of evenings. Read all
