    Social experiment drama shows are always welcome.

    This drama blends the gameplay and brutality of the Korean show Squid Game, the Japanese series Kaiji, and the Spanish movie Platform. While Some Korean dramas have become somewhat predictable, often ending in forced emotional climaxes that evoke tears, I still found this show quite entertaining. It offers numerous lessons, delving into human psychology and nature, as well as philosophical ideas like democracy, communism, socialism, dictatorship, and utilitarianism. The watchers monitoring through CCTV cameras in the drama could represent the elite globalists at the top of the capitalist pyramid, or they could symbolize us. After all, most of us likely enjoyed the show as mere spectators rather than feeling disturbed by it. Still, I always like and want to support this style of drama. That's why I believe it deserves at least an 8 out of 10. This drama had too many of his monologues and it was a bit annoying, so I deducted 1 star.

    P. S. While watching Squid Game, I couldn't help but notice the irony that the creators and investors of "The 8 Show," including Netflix, are likely not members of the ordinary working class. Yet, they seem to be fans of George Orwell's Animal Farm. They seem to know us very well, understanding that instead of resisting upon learning the truth, we tend to accept reality and even strive to climb higher within the system's pyramid.

    This is NOT a Squid Game based series

    While the design and style of the new Korean Netflix series definitely seems inspired by squid game, the story itself is based on a Webtoon called "Pi Game".

    Which was released throughout 2020~2021.

    I'd say this is a Great, and even a Better adaptation of the original.

    It has lots of Humor, Violence, and a sharp, deep insight in modern social structures...

    Though it shares lots of similarities with Squid game, The platform, etc... The 8 show feels different and new. And clever.

    While it does have some flaws, If you are a fan of survival game genre, This series is for you.

    Enjoy the show.

    Good idea, bad execution, cartoon characters

    It's a good idea / concept that starts really strong, but falls flat unless you drink the kool aid.

    It attempts to provide some criticism and mockery of social hierarchy, along with some very "squid game" style presentation and theatrics.

    But where it falls flat, is in the action of the characters themselves, you really need to have a strong suspension of disbelief to buy in to what the characters do, the way they act and their emotional responses.

    All of them behave as cartoon characters, don't follow logic or reason and just do whatever the plot requires of them. The actors don't do a bad job, but are just given horrible dialogues and the script hurts them.

    Capitalism Vs Humanity

    A real Dark Comedy in its true sense! In the first go, looks similar to Squid Game but quite a different Korean series. Story explores the portrayal of Capitalism Vs Humanity. Entire series does have only 8 characters. Definitely does offer lots of intense emotions, thrill, excitement, frustration n keeps you completely hooked up. Though starts on lines of innocence, it ends up getting very violent. If you are only into very sober series, avoid it but if you know what exactly a dark series n like them, then definitely must watch on those terms. A limited series of 8 episodes with an average time of 40 mins each. Available in Hindi too. My ratings 7/10!

    Engaging first half, disappointing second half

    The show started pretty strong, peaked at around 3-4 episode and it was all downhill after that. The characters have made illogical decisions which really makes you cringe and questions the intelligence of viewer. I would have loved if the show went slow and steady no need to create unnecessary drama by making illogical decisions, a bit less drama but with logical sequence would have been much appreciated.

    To be honest after episode 7 I was totally fed up and did not watch the last episode. I watched episode 7 just in hope they will make at least some sense but I was wrong, Episode 7 was worse than 6, 6 was worse than 5, 5 was worse than 4.
