"It is very similar to the show in design. They did a great job recreating the set and a lot of the games. Was disappointed in the simplicity of the games at the end that resulted in the winner, although I had been rooting for her. Overall, it is worth the watch if you like game/reality shows and have seen Squid Game and liked it. "
"On paper this sounds like a horrible take on the real show but itโs actually good"

"4.25/5*s
I understand that this show goes against the messages that the fictional show was trying to relay, which was that greed corrupts and money can't buy happiness. Regardless, this is a really good show. All the sets look exactly like the show and they used most of the same games from the show. Obviously they had to change some of the games because players would already know how to beat them from having watched the show. I won't spoil which games are new and which are the same because finding out is part of the fun.
The biggest difference is that most of the people are actually quite nice and caring and there is a lot of camaraderie and friendships throughout. There are a few people who you want to smack but not many. And of course there isn't any fighting and killing in the dormitories.
Which leads me to one of the things that I think was pretty cool. When you are "killed" in the game, you literally have to lay there and be dead as the game continues around you. Just because the person isn't dead, that doesn't take away from the image it leaves on the viewers and the other players. And it also adds to the feelings the viewers get when watching certain people "die". You do fall in love with people in the game and it's sad to see them "die". There is a certain realness that adds. I literally cried several times watching this from all the feelings it gave me, and I RARELY cry. I HATE crying!
Anyway, I definitely recommend this show for a fun and somewhat original take on reality shows."
