Squid Game: Le défi

First of all, this game show was approved by the creator of Squid Game and he was excited for it too, especially to fill in the time while we wait for season 2 of the actual show. HOWEVER, I do agree with a lot of the negative reviews about the casting. I don't know why all these networks are constantly casting actors/social media influencers in their game shows now. Even the actors in the actual Squid Game show seem more authentic and real than many of these contestants. I don't like how Netflix in all of their reality/game shows always focuses on a select few actors instead of everyone equally. Also, when they said this is a global competition, I was hoping for more people from around the world but the majority seem to be obnoxious and loud Americans while giving zero attention to the other country cast.

Aside from the casting, the game and show itself is AWESOME. It's intense, the set designs are impressive and match the actual show, and they introduced new games and twists to ensure the contestants can't copy the tactics used in the original show, which brings a new dynamic and makes it even more addicting.

I would easily rate this show 10/10 if it weren't for the annoying casting, because everything else is perfect and super fun.

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.

They advertised that this will be reality show where people compete to win big price and the challenges will be inspired Squid game show people giving 1 star and saying thats not second season are plane stupid, It never pretend to be they dont in one place sugeste that. Why so many people are dumb. Trailer for this show presents all concepts, and tease some games so how somone think it would be tv series i dont know. Players are real people, when they shoot this show there was many complains from the contestants and speak about lack of food and cold weather and harsh conditions over all. Please whatch this like korean show Phisical:100 its something like that but with Squid game refrence. Players are awful because most persons on this planet are thats it.

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.

I was really looking forward to this, I'm a huge game show fan and a huge squid game fan so a show combining those two elements should have been a slam dunk exceptional piece of television i would love.

Wrong.

It was so badly done, you can tell they are performing from a script, so many cutaways to contestant interviews pre-games where they all have your typical reality tv sob stories.

Then you find out from the participants social media afterwards how much of the show was staged, fixed, that these contestants were already influencers & in some cases already from money.

Just over the top, overly dramatic, extremely predictable and poorly produced rubbish.

If you love Squid Games give this a miss, wait for Season 2 or rewatch Season 1.
