I could do without any other of these dumb, cheesy drama shows. But in my opinion, this show is like a up-to-date twisted soap. It is relatively good. Every episode has something you don't expect. I will admit, it is a little cheesy. (All soaps are.) But the actors are good at least! I can't wait to find out what happens - and I hope this show isn't canceled. ***** of *****
Okay. This is my new favorite soap opera. "Spyder Games" basically deals with the corrupt and out of whack Carslile family, and their father Boris, who created the video game corporation known as Spyder Games. Dimitri Carslile is back in Fort Kent after a stint in Hollywood, and the only daughter Natalia is busy as a powerless vp at the company. The youngest of the Carslile brood, Sasha (and, by the way, is a dead on lookalike w/ Ryan Philippe), is busy getting his rear end in all sorts of trouble and gettin his freak on w/ someone that is seven years older than him-the beautiful 23-year old Taylor. Little does he know that his best girl friend Cherish Pardee is head over heels in love w/ him. Meanwhile, the second oldest Carslile, Ivan, is getting ready to marry his sweetheart Kate. May I add that Ivan and Natalia both hate their father, while Dimitri is the pet and Sasha is spoiled w/ Boris' lax attitude. What happens next?? Well, you're just gonna hafta find out. Okay, time for the review! This is a great show. Funny subplots, very delicately worked mysteries, and kickass scandals that'll make you gasp. See the wedding episode and see what I mean. It's crazy! I think my favorite female character is the owner of Come-On's Boutique (Daphne), where Taylor and Cherish both work. She's hilarious and wacky and totally into soap operas. She misses an intricate part of the plot because she was tuned in to BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, for god's sake! I don't like Taylor. She's a total B**** for telling Cherish to go for Sasha while secretly boinking him in the janitor closet!...Okay okay, you got me...my favorite male character has GOT to be the most BEAUTIFUL man I've EVER SEEN, Sasha Carslile. He is SO GORGEOUS! And I totally think that Robert Hutchinson (the guy who plays him) will go really far. All in all, watch "Spyder Games"!
Can you honestly ask the writers of the world for a more thrilling soap opera directed toward the younger generations? NO! Spyder Games was an immense combination of drama of all types: from gossip and deceit to disrespect and MURDER. The show had everything you could ask for, and if it was allowed a longer run with better advertisement, I am almost positive that it would've done better than any other soap opera out there! Much better than some of the teen dramas now, at least. The plots were very well written and extremely unpredictable. You could never point your finger in one direction for more than a couple of episodes before you were back to the beginning and left in suspense! You could never figure out what would happen next, but when it did, it was the perfect story. I, personally, watched this show religiously until the very final episode and I would give my left arm to see it back on the air. Okay...maybe I wouldn't give up any limbs but I would definitely shave my head for an entire year. BRAVO TO THE CREATORS! GREAT JOB! And, just a side note, any writers from Spyder Games would make a phenomenal team with the writers of Nip/Tuck to shock us over and over again. :]
this show has everything! it is so awesome!i just can't get enough.i watch each episode 2 times a say when it airs thats how good it is!!!!!! you should all watch this show! it has everything and you'll all love it just as much as i do so watch away!
A late-night soap opera with hi-tech overtones, SPYDER GAMES proves to be a slick entry. The misadventures of the kids of a dead mogul are shown in different emotional categories, whether it be love, jealousy, or greed. MTV created yet another kind of personal roller coaster rides in the lives of young people, much like UNDRESSED. Only this time, the storylines of SPYDER GAMES are a lot more intriguing than mundane sex stories like in UNDRESSED.

- TriviaIn the original pilot for Spyder Games, Chrystee Pharris was originally cast as Cherish Pardee, but MTV thought she was too old for the role. The part later went to Megalyn Echikunwoke.
- Alternate versionsIn episode 4, several racy scenes were trimmed down, where Natalia takes off her panties and gives it to the lawyer, who later has a heart attack when she exposed herself mimicking Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, while he is giving a eulogy at Boris' funeral.
