À l'épreuve du diable

This show is bonkers! And I'm hooked!

It felt authentic and unlike other competition reality shows. This series focuses on mental strength rather than physical ability, so it's chalk full of brainy players. The contestants all seem to have different plans and strategies to reach the end.

The first game the contestants play made me laugh pretty hard. Not the actual game, but the explanation on how to play. The announcer begins to explain the rules and it starts out simple. But the explanation continues with more rules and more rules and then even more rules. About 7 minutes into the explanation for playing the game, it felt like satire! If you watch this for no other reason, it's worth it to see how complicated and elaborate the rules for the game become...it's genuinely one of the most insane things I've ever seen on a competition reality show.

With that said, even without understanding the rules to the game, it was a lot of fun to watch.

This show is nuts in the best way. I'm fully onboard to watch it until the end!

Watching episode 1 made me jump out of my seat. The concept is so different, people are so intelligent, smart and unpredictable, it's like I'm watching a thriller movie. It's interesting to see how outcome changes with everyone's actions. An amazing show and you guys must watch it if you're into solving puzzles and collecting **pieces**.

You'll get to see different kind of people, acting differently in various scenario, how alliances are made and how betrayal happen.

Day 1 which makes two episode of it was completed package, the jealousy, competitiveness, teamwork, trust, distrust - I just can't wait for more episodes....

I was done with those reality shows where the temp in the room is higher than the avg is. It is a breath of fresh air to see both intellectual with good emotional intellect, playing the games without constantly betraying each other or being mean and all over the place. Such a wholesome group of people with genuine interaction, strategies.

I particularly loved the games designs, their ingenuity and how it all comes together. There was no smart exploit that ruins it for one player, it was either you're good in a field needed or you aren't. No tricks. They pushed all the participants to their limits making them all likeable as they displayed weaknesses to each other.

Anybody going into this looking for the typical American, Big Brother type show is going to be disappointed. This is not a bunch of brainless people who say "like" every other word, or competitions where people stand against a wall and get rained on. THIS show is intelligence based. The games are crazily complex. Yes, the instructons are very long-winded and complicated, but once the gameplay starts, you can pick up on the concepts fairly quickly. Every contestant on the show is extremely intelligent, and I found something to like about each and every person. I even found myself getting quite emotional every time someone had to leave. I was hooked from beginning to end! Very hopeful for a second season!

The Devil's Plan is a reality game show featuring highly intelligent individuals and advanced level games.

It's normal in Asia to have famous people (actors, YouTubers, etc) participating in game shows rather than the average Joe.

First off, the games are no joke. They are complex, designed to challenge high IQ individuals. You might need to rewatch the game explanations several times to understand the strategies employed by the participants, tho you will probably catch on naturally by watching the games unfold.

There are some high level elements that's just a touch of genius that I can't get into without spoiling it. The level of detail in the hints, and the fact that some of the participants catch on, is amazing. I'll just leave it at: The Safe. You'll know what I mean when you get to it.

Finally, the twists, lies and betrayals are fun to watch.

Very good show. Not just a reality show based on personality clashes, but one of smart people trying to outsmart each other while seeming amicable and polite, very East Asian! I truly enjoyed this show.
