Like Squid Game, the fun of The 8 Show is seeing just what kind of situations the characters are going to be put in and how they figure out how to play the strange game they find themselves in.

Sadly, despite showing a lot of promise in its first few minutes, The 8 Show quickly loses its footing, particularly because of its often misplaced humor and the way it treats its ensemble.

It's a disgusting tv **** just cruel just the sake of making the viewer go the its limits, but there isnt pay any off or actual enjoyment it in it. The most awful psychological thriller Tv show or Movie I've ever seen. And I've watched a lot of it .Horrible. Don't waste your time. Netflix made a horrible decision to have this show on its list. What a waste of money and creative time. The only good thing would be the photography, the rest is crap.

This show is a relentless assault on the intellect. It's an abyss of mindless nonsense, designed to rot your brain and leave you questioning the very fabric of your sanity. It can be enjoyed only by complete imbeciles!
