El juego del calamar: El desafío

I'm astonished how many people rated this poorly, all because they thought it was season 2. THIS IS A GAME SHOW based on Squid Games. I thought this game show was as well done as it could be having been done in the US and also lacking the motivation of losing your life. The reality TV portions are a but much, but the overall premise was intriguing. I'd watch another season if they could come up with interesting games a 2nd time. I thoroughly enjoyed the original show and was shocked to see them try to channel that into an actual game show. I think it was mostly successful and a worthy enough follow-up to the original show from the US perspective.

This show is savage. I had my doubts, but from an entertainment perspective, it's impressive. I'm not usually into reality TV, but this one truly stands out. The ruthlessness of people in pursuit of a life-changing sum of money is a fascinating aspect. It unfolds like a human experiment, shedding light on various social aspects of society. I binge-watched the entire first part of season one in a day. For a reality show that takes inspiration from the original Squid Game series, I'd say it lives up to expectations. Looking forward to the rest of the first season. Great potential here for future seasons!

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.

First and foremost: This is a reality tv show. Anyone who came into this with the expectation that it was going to be Squid Game: Season 2 will be disappointed.

That said, it seems that a large majority of the people rating this show 1 star are simply confused. I see a lot of people complaining that the show has been Americanized and ruined. These people are being completely over-the-top given that the show isn't even connected to Squid Game other than the set.

This is a well-done reality show. I watch a lot of trashy reality tv shows and this is pretty par for the course as to what you would expect.

It's not the best thing I've ever watched but it is definitely entertaining. Excited for the final 5 episodes to drop!

It's a reality tv show, you get that, right?! And as such it's pretty decent. There's the annoying characters, the ones you laugh at despite yourself, well put together to show developing relationships, and done with a budget large enough to sell the concept. It's a show that was ripe for this sort of spin off, and to be honest, it's done pretty well. If you like reality tv challenge shows, and liked Squid Game, you'll like this. I loved Squid game, can take or leave reality shows, but found enough here to enjoy the series. Strange that people give 1 star because they thought it was going to be something else; is that how ratings work??!!!
