Absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Non spoiler review)
The 12-episode Korean series, out on Netflix, zeroes in on the social inequalities that were exposed by the pandemic, while at the same time offering strong commentary on the toxicity of the teenage experience. It is, after all, set inside the most Darwinian of all playgrounds, and the iciest of all societal snowglobes—high school. It’s a consistently gripping and imminently bingeable show that sticks to the syllabus, and then goes ahead and wins brownie points for extracurricular activities, too.
But because everything has been so carefully mapped out, the resolutions are immensely satisfying. The show also makes it quite clear very early on that death is a real eventuality
These are the four characters with whom you spend the most time, and thankfully, they’re not an insufferable bunch.
For instance, All of Us Are Dead would have been virtually impossible to watch had it been populated by the high-schoolers from HBO’s Euphoria. Hilariously, even though the kids in this show are around the same age as the ones in Euphoria, cigarettes are only ever mentioned once, when the characters make a big deal out of it after one of them confesses to being a smoker.
