UK schools are asking parents not to let their children watch the ″squid game ″ series

Many schools in the UK are urging parents of their students not to let their children watch the South Korean series “Squid Game”, which is currently the most watched series on Netflix in more than 90 countries, including Portugal.

With unprecedented global success, the South Korean dystopian play, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, imagines a vicious world where people marginalized in traditional children’s games compete with each other. The winner can win millions of dollars, and the losing players are killed.

“Hundreds of bankrupt players accept a strange invitation to participate in children’s games. The gift waiting for them is attractive, but the consequences are dangerous,” Netflix said succinctly.

Speaking to the BBC, Gareth Nicholas of Sir Francis Hill Elementary School in Lincoln discussed the series “within a small group of students under the age of six” and said it would “play some scenes” of the series. The teacher of the students immediately contacted the parents of the children, the official said.

“He advised the students to check the access of the devices in their homes as the series was being watched without their knowledge,” he told BBC Nichols.
