Last week it was dropped on Netflix. It is a reality show version of the series. Last week the first 5 episodes were released and today the next 4, next week is the final episode.

They are playing for 4.56 million and it is based on the original series.

They are "killed" by having an ink pack that can be exploded to signify being eliminated.

No actors, just real people from around the world.

It has been a good watch so far.

Watched the first batch of episodes. Initially thought it was cheesy (fake dying in the first challenge), but the personalities, game play, and twists have made it interesting. Looking forward to watching the rest.

Went in with low expectations but really enjoyed the first 5 episodes so far. Thought the games were really well done and the twists have been awesome. Also makes me want to go back and watch the original series.

Was better than I expected. Interested to see how it plays out. The Doc and his friend in the kitchen for chores and him thinking he got him kicked out the game was tough. You could tell (at least by editing) that he really felt bad.

So is this worth watching if we've already seen the MrBeast version of this?

It's basically watching squid games again fresh minus the cop story line, which sucked anyway.

One of my high school friends is on the show. Saw him on the 1st episode, but none after that, so I'm guessing he got "killed" off screen.

Really enjoyed the first 5 episodes.

I wonder if the old man is a plant like in the show? They obviously drew a lot from the show so curious if it's similar.

It's entertaining, but man oh man are they editing it in a way that makes me wince at the contestants. So many people crying about a game show.

The talking head interviews give the Office a run for the money in awkwardness. They must have just left them in a room and told them to talk vs. prompting them with questions. Crazy people.

Ok

Did I miss something? Why the hell did no one back Mai after she called out that ***** for her stunt on the bridge? It makes zero sense how no one else was mad.

I was so glad she was eliminated, second-most hated contestant after Bryton Constantin

This, anybody watch both? MrBeast's was pretty elaborate.

I think the show is pretty well done and hilarious at times but most of the guys are pathetic crying *****es.

Man, that crap pissed me off. Especially because we were rooting for the son. But then, she doubles down in the next game and starts talking about "karmas a *****" because Mai's friend went home after she called her out. No you stupid *****, you are the one who started all of it.

I don't even know who to root for now that the son, the red headed Irishman and the bigger dude with the man bun are all out. Definitely not rooting for the bleach blonde tomato. I guess it's Mai or bust for us.

The gay (Sam), the immigrant (Mai), or the scuba dude (Phill)

I wanted Bee to make it to the finals. Her ruthless destruction of their opponent in Battleship made me a fan.

Btw, I was surprised by them not releasing the final episode with the second batch of episodes, but I really like the way they are handling it. I wish more Netflix shows adopted this format.

I have only seen one episode so far (and I didn't watch the original series.. so I'm totally in the dark about what's going on). But I find it hilarious how in the episode they interviewed that one lady giving the impression that she was going to go far and then she got killed right away. I literally LOLed at that (rather than figuratively).

$4.56 million is the largest cash prize in game show history. The cash prize on the original Squid Game was 45.6 billion won, which is over $35 million.

In the MrBeast video, the losing contestants got $2,000 to $10,000 (the winner got $456,000), and in this show, only the winner gets money.

For those of you wondering, the odds of the first person successfully completing the bridge are 1 in 131,072.

I don't like that it was a little delayed. Seems like they could just pick who they wanted to drop. Wish it was just a fall away door.

I'm surprised no one flipped a coin in the marbles game.

I just wondered if there was some rule they couldn't create a human chain to ensure they all cross successfully.

Entertaining, but I swear some of these people act like they've never seen the tv show the game is based on. They know they don't actually die, right? They just lose the game. The amount of crying, vomiting and panic attacks is unbelievable.

Mai's reaction to Chad getting eliminated was so over the top

Phillip is hilarious when he "cries" but no tears come. He's done it at least 5x throughout the show

He was balls to the wall on the duck duck goose game

The majority of the contestants have undiagnosed mental illness I think

One of the finalists got a low number on the bridge game, didn't have to roll the dice in the dice game, and wasn't chosen and didn't have to choose anyone in the circle game, so he got really lucky.

I'm convinced 161 Lorenzo wore his hideous crocheted flower dress and bonnet during the interview to play an over-the-top homosexual and guarantee he was chosen. He gamed the selection process before the game even began.

If you were a contestant and they offered you $5,000 after the first game to leave (if you don't take the deal and get eliminated later, you get nothing), would you take the money or would you keep trying to get the $4.56 million? I would take the money, since there can only be one winner at the end.

If I knew it was all going to be physical/mental challenges then I'd have to really think about it. Knowing it's turning into a Big Brother type game I'm taking the money.
