Randy Meeks Espinof As a good series based on shock value and constant reveals, 'The 8 Show' masters the cliffhanger... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review William Schwartz HanCinema Right to the end, "The 8 Show" refuses to caricature even its most seemingly loathsome characters. All of them were driven to madness by the harsh, empathy-less world they lived in long before they accepted their invitation to the game. Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) The pacing is deliberate and urgent, without creating rushed storytelling, and when this is combined with the suspenseful and dreadful actions, the storytelling will grab you and compel you to watch. Rated: 4.5/5 May 23, 2024 Full Review Joel Keller Decider The 8 Show might be as dark as Squid Game, but it’s definitely more wryly funny... May 21, 2024 Full Review Pierce Conran South China Morning Post Viewers are likely to recognise The 8 Show as a blatant attempt to piggyback on the achievement of the most successful Netflix show of all time, but so long as they are being entertained they may give it more time. Rated: 3/5 May 18, 2024 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Something fascinating happens in The 8 Show, but it’s fascinating for the wrong reasons.

Lei D The fact that no one immediately beats 8 floor within an inch of her life is why I can't recommend this show at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Etn 9 It a really good series and highly recommend. The only problem about it is some part are somewhat confusing or get too out of it. I’m also not really like the ending too much but it still made sense so not complaining. This show is defiantly not for the light hearted but at least watch it once. ( also people keep comparing it to squid game witch it nothing like it. It more like tomodachi game mix with kakegurui “both from a anime.) (Spoiler alert.) there only one death. But half of this movie is just them torturing each other. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review Marc-Étienne B Excellent show! Every episode is unexpected and surprising. A more deep and shocking squid game. This show will make you reflect on the society and on human nature. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/24 Full Review Megan L Honestly everything from the plot to the interpretation was so good. It was well written and directed. Loved it from start to finish. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/24 Full Review Grazia F That’s a perfect representation of society! Plenty of plot twists Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Christian S In summary, "The 8 Show" falls short on several fronts, from storytelling and character development to acting and production quality. Both critics and fans have found significant flaws that overshadow its potential. While every show has its audience, "The 8 Show" may not be worth the time investment for those seeking quality entertainment. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
