"The 8 Show" is an intriguing new Netflix series that blends elements of survival thrillers like "Squid Game" with the quirky style of director Wes Anderson. Based on the popular webcomics "Money Game" and "Pie Game" by Bae Jin Soo, the show follows eight individuals who are confined in a mysterious eight-story building to compete in a reality show where "time equals money".
The premise is captivating - the contestants must navigate the building's eight levels through a combination of collaboration, competition, and occasional betrayals in order to win substantial sums of cash. Each purchase they make to buy necessities reduces the final prize amount, as everything costs 1,000 times the regular price. The challenge is to spend as little as possible to protect the collective pot, which is nearly $40 million.
The first season of "The 8 Show" premiered exclusively on Netflix on May 17, 2024. With its intriguing blend of high-stakes competition, dark humor, and moral dilemmas, the show is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Personally, it is a good watch.
