Hwang’s yellow bag will be hauled off to a processing plant along with thousands of others, where the plastic will be stripped off and its contents recycled into biogas, animal feed or fertilizer. Universal curbside composting was implemented that same year, requiring everyone to separate their food from general waste. The government banned burying organic waste in landfills in 2005, followed by another ban against dumping leachate – the putrid liquid squeezed from solid food waste – into the ocean in 2013. Beginning in the late 1990s, as landfills in the crowded capital area approached their limits, South Korea implemented a slate of policies to ease what was becoming seen as a trash crisis. Things changed as urbanization intensified in the following decades, bringing with it industrialized food systems and new scales of waste.

“Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the country was so poor that very little food actually went to waste. “We’re part of a generation from a far more frugal time,” she explained. “We throw out one bag or so every week.” Hwang, an urban farmer who also composts some of her food waste herself (things like fruit peels or vegetable scraps) guesses that this is probably on the lower end of the spectrum. On the other hand, the resolution isn't clever, but it is coherent and comprehensible, and it also leaves a bit of an impact.Īfter a long time, this is a more positive Netflix surprise.“We’re just two people – my husband and myself,” said Hwang. And some of the plot is admittedly silly. The motivations only emerge in the course of the story, but the small subplots of the secondary characters aren't particularly interesting. Good tension curve, solidly acted and with some bloody moments.

Nach langem mal wieder eine positivere Netflix-Überraschung.ĭownrange meets Con Air as a revenge thriller, including a chamber play and a car chase. Dafür ist die Auflösung zwar nicht clever, aber stimmig und nachvollziehbar und hinterlässt auch ein wenig Wirkung. Und so manche Handlung ist zugegeben dümmlich. Die Motivationen ergeben sich erst im Laufe der Story, dafür sind die kleinen Teilgeschichten der Nebencharaktere nicht sonderlich interessant. Gute Spannungskurve, solide gespielt und mit kleinen Härten. Downrange trifft Con Air als Rache-Thriller, inklusive Kammerspiel und Verfolgungsjagd.
