Review by scorefax

Hello to everybody,

I would not recommend watching this series to anybody, the level of absurdity and nonsense and illogical behaviour is remarkable.

The setting of the show is quite promising and reminds oneself of renowned shows or films like "The Platform / El Hoyo" or the famous Squid game. This is how I got baited into this show, because I absolutely loved these two.

But the same thing that "The Platform" and Squidgame were able to achieve (in a different way and manner admittedly) "the 8 show" completely fails at. All the criticism, the beautiful metaphors, the violence etc, everything had its place and its time and dosage in "The Platform" and "El Hoyo". Here in "the 8 show" it merely seemed like how absurd and nonsensical the producers were able to design the show.

I only watched it until the end because of one reliable user review of this show that was written by 'wavey-lip' (thank you very much !!! @wavey-lip) where he pointed out that in episode 7 the viewer is tested regarding how much nonsense one could take. Wavey-lip was right.
