What remains of humanity lives in a gigantic moving train, which seems condemned to permanently travel the planet Earth. The world suffers from a frozen state that makes it practically uninhabitable, so fast-moving transport is the only hope for survival.

However, life is not perfect on the inside, where humanity once again faces problems that have accompanied it for a long time. The division of social classes causes an unfair distribution of food and quality of life. The discomfort of the oppressed continues to grow until it gives way to a revolt.

Review

Snowpiercer is a series that comes with great expectations to the Netflix catalog. While waiting to see the majority reaction from viewers, the first critical reviews point to a series with too many problems. This is how Luis Martínez warns in his comments for the newspaper The world.

“[There is] not a trace of the delusional chaos that actor Song Kang Ho always brings; not a trace of the grotesque tragic Tilda Swinton; not a hint of Bong Joon-ho's flame, ”he wrote.

Jorge Loser marches in the same line after considering that the series has many problems that could be worth a bad evaluation by the public.

“His great concept is treated roughly and without any subtlety, his approach is cumbersome and, although it has a lot of violence, it is lost in a collection of characters without charisma and, with the exception of Jennifer Connelly, a very weak cast (…) between uninspired characters they add some moments of shame to others… ”, he commented in his review of Espinof.

In any case, the series has been renewed by TNT for a season 2, so there is confidence that it will have a warm reception among viewers.
