Episode count: 8
Reasons to watch: High on edgy ~intrigue~ and Squid Game-iness, Netflix’s latest show features a lot of eights. Eight actors playing eight contestants in an eight-story building trying to outlast the clock to earn money. It’s sure to be dark and full of some twists ahead, but the concept seems rooted in the “I did it for the money” motivation desperation, and that’s never my favorite story arc. Still, we have a great cast of Ryu Joon-yeol, Chun Woo-hee, Park Jung-min, Lee Yool-eum, Park Hae-joon, Lee Joo-young, Moon Jung-hee, and Bae Sung-woo – and the story is based off the popular webtoons Money Game and Pi Game.
TL;DR: There are a lot of eights and a lot of questions
