El juego del calamar: El desafío

They advertised that this will be reality show where people compete to win big price and the challenges will be inspired Squid game show people giving 1 star and saying thats not second season are plane stupid, It never pretend to be they dont in one place sugeste that. Why so many people are dumb. Trailer for this show presents all concepts, and tease some games so how somone think it would be tv series i dont know. Players are real people, when they shoot this show there was many complains from the contestants and speak about lack of food and cold weather and harsh conditions over all. Please whatch this like korean show Phisical:100 its something like that but with Squid game refrence. Players are awful because most persons on this planet are thats it.

Well its basically all completely random, none of the challenges require any real skill the vast majority are just completely random. Im not sure who this is aimed at, there is no real drama, no real game show elements, just a bunch of unlikeable people who by the time you reach the end you couldnt care less who wins. There are too many people at the start to get any real interest in the characters without using editing that would make it blazingly obvious who is going to end up at the end.

I think most interestingly though is that Netflix has decided that they want to be the evil corporation from the original Squid games, they though hey thats us we should lean into the soulless evil corp that wants to exploit desperate people. Yet this is where we are in the world now, little by little we have eroded and remaining semblance of ethics and this is what we are left with.

I was really looking forward to this, I'm a huge game show fan and a huge squid game fan so a show combining those two elements should have been a slam dunk exceptional piece of television i would love.

Wrong.

It was so badly done, you can tell they are performing from a script, so many cutaways to contestant interviews pre-games where they all have your typical reality tv sob stories.

Then you find out from the participants social media afterwards how much of the show was staged, fixed, that these contestants were already influencers & in some cases already from money.

Just over the top, overly dramatic, extremely predictable and poorly produced rubbish.

If you love Squid Games give this a miss, wait for Season 2 or rewatch Season 1.

First of all, this game show was approved by the creator of Squid Game and he was excited for it too, especially to fill in the time while we wait for season 2 of the actual show. HOWEVER, I do agree with a lot of the negative reviews about the casting. I don't know why all these networks are constantly casting actors/social media influencers in their game shows now. Even the actors in the actual Squid Game show seem more authentic and real than many of these contestants. I don't like how Netflix in all of their reality/game shows always focuses on a select few actors instead of everyone equally. Also, when they said this is a global competition, I was hoping for more people from around the world but the majority seem to be obnoxious and loud Americans while giving zero attention to the other country cast.

Aside from the casting, the game and show itself is AWESOME. It's intense, the set designs are impressive and match the actual show, and they introduced new games and twists to ensure the contestants can't copy the tactics used in the original show, which brings a new dynamic and makes it even more addicting.

I would easily rate this show 10/10 if it weren't for the annoying casting, because everything else is perfect and super fun.

Why do I find the contestants so irritating? I dislike this American approach. They come across as annoying individuals.

It's challenging to discern whether these people are genuinely behaving this way or if it's all staged to mimic the original season. The effort to replicate the original show seems forced.

It appears scripted, and their focus on imitating the original movie is rather absurd. They seem more concerned with acting than actually winning the prize money.

This could have been one of the best reality shows, but it probably became the worst. I just stopped watching this. I can't see this people.
