Investidos: O Jogo da Desconfiança

I thought the idea was intriguing, but something went very very wrong in the casting, specifically with the women. The one woman I thought was a nutter with the non-binary plant, ended up being the most sane of the lot. The rest of the women are truly some of the most vile, entitled, victims I have ever seen. The african-american woman with the short hair is actually from Nigeria as a child. She gets angry that people refer to her as being African, but she literally wears ear rings and necklaces in the shape of African, not Nigeria. The other young woman who looks a little hispanic, is a perfect example of the entitled 20 somethings running around. On top of being perpetually in need of validation. None of these women have any sense of honor to them, it's disgusting to watch them.

I only made it through 2 episodes, I don't know if I can watch more. These people suck.

I have to hand it to the producers of this show: they have managed to assemble one of the most vile, hateful, and generally unlikable group of people I could imagine. While the idea of the show is actually very interesting, the choice of contestants is stunning for its level of overt racism, dishonesty, manipulativeness, and just general rottenness. While some of these folks might be ok people outside of this pressure cooker environment, others should never be allowed anywhere near people or animals without a watchful guard present. Tolu in particular is a prime example of the absolute worst of humanity. If that's your kind of thing, you'll love this show.

If you like other reality shows such as The Traitors, Survivor, The Mole...etc then you may like this show a bit, but be warned the cast isn't that great. The whole premise of this show is that everyone is a winner, and whomever gets to the end gets to split a $250,000 prize. The catch though is that if you chose to vote someone out that means that everyone's cut of the prize goes up due to there now being less people. Also There are things that happen along the way in which the cast can raise the total amount of money or keep more for themselves.

So you're thinking to yourself that sounds like it could make for a great show, but sadly you would be wrong and it all has to do with the cast. Most of the men in the cast act like they have a moral high ground and want to just go to the end with everyone. While most of the women want to get people out so they get a bigger cut of the money. Also none of them are all that interesting character wise. At no point did I ever find myself rooting for anyone. So if you like reality TV shows and you are really really bored you could check this one out, but don't expect anything great out of it whatsoever.

Great concept, love reality shows like this. Had hopes this one would be as good or as fun to watch at the Squid Game Challenge. But this one quickly (very quickly) becomes unwatchable because of the contestants. Did producers actively seek out the most insufferable, punchable, annoying, narcissistic people they could find? If they did, they succeeded. Especially the women. Angry, bitter, victim crying, manipulative women. A few of the guys seemed nice and honest but were immediately attacked by the angry women for being so. I could not eye roll harder. Major two thumbs way down. Come back with better contestants.

The show concept really intrigued me. Had the contestants, the females, been more logical instead of emotional this show would have been one of the best shows I've ever watched on netflix.

With the exception of Simone and Winnie, the women casted were awfu, Tolu by far was the WORSE. It was sad to see a grandmother use a word like misogynist not understanding what it truly means. She accused that man of hating women for playing a game and making a decision based on logic and not feelings.

As a woman their behavior infuriated me. If this is renewed for season 2 I hope they do better casting of the women and have them do psychological tests. They seemed very unhinged. Again, especially Tolu.
