SKY Castle#
Satire, amplifying a real pressure#
Before you watch#
- watch the assigned episodes
- bring one scene that felt like it couldn’t possibly be realistic — we’ll test that assumption together
What we’re testing#
We treat the show’s most extreme moments as amplifications rather than inventions, tracing each back to a real pressure — around admissions, status, or inequality — that the satire depends on its audience already recognising.
Name one moment the show plays for satire, and the real pressure it’s exaggerating.
