The 8 Show: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 The 8 Show: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 The 8 Show: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 The 8 Show: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut Something fascinating happens in The 8 Show, but it’s fascinating for the wrong reasons. Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2024 Full Review The 8 Show: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community The 8 Show is one of the best limited series on Netflix. It ends with finality and pays off every narrative choice made along the way. Rated: 10/10 May 17, 2024 Full Review The 8 Show: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Elisa Guimarães Collider Netflix's The 8 Show might garner comparisons to Squid Game, but the new series struggles with underdeveloped characters and disjointed humor.

luz d Entretiene, es un reflejo real de la naturaleza humana. No es una propuesta nueva, retoma elementos e otras puestas en escena como el hoyo, el experimento, celda 211, pero es una buena serie Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Valeria M Una cruda rappresentazione della società capitalista. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Richard Y Well-executed sadism p*rn. After a while the only attraction is "How far will they go?" Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/06/24 Full Review Alro 1 This show is a hard watch, but In my opinion is certainly a masterpiece.Most others reviews here don't really get the point of the show. Every character feels immensely real. People won't just change personalities because of trauma. And making humans do horrific things is immensely hard in most situations.This show has 1 very promenant and obvious message. "The class system has those at the top using those at the bottom"And It spreads that message utterly all while making every action and thought believable and real.There's "twists" that I could tell were coming, because it's what I'd do. There were scenes that were physically painful and sickening to watch.Because being in that situation with the main characters would be incredibly painful and sickening.This show doesn't want you to watch it as entertainment. It wants to force you to see yourself in it. This show is 100% a horror, not a dark comedy in any sense of the word. But what is a horror, if not something that's made to horrify you. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review dieforme 2 If unfairness and dumpness of sheeps was a Movie! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Zoe T It’s interesting the first half of the show and becomes annoying towards the end with the unnecessary violent scenes. Time wasted! Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
