This show is clearly not every ones cup of tea but trust me if it meets its audience then you in for a fun ride....it's a dark comedy thriller as well as a psychological drama about eight people who find them selves involved in a game where they collectively win a specific prize money with each time that passes..the game has all kinds of rules some coming off as interesting while others are unfair....this show further more throws light on how the actual world we live in works, things like social classes and hierarchical benefits, injustice and unfairness, greed and more.....it's relatable in a way that it relates to the society we live in.

Now onto the drama I must say I loved the artistic and humourous approach to this dark show....the humour was on point well mostly for those who understand dark comedy....the artistic approach was seen from the way the drama it's self is shot and directed as well as the catchy goofy and humourous background music that made the scenes stand out in a lively manner!

The pacing of the show was fine door me..not so fast and not so slow enough for me to keep being engaged to the story and to the characters, the characterisation was good I love how each one of these characters was written with personality and drive....the acting was phenomenal and I had fun binging this.

As I said this might not be a show for everyone but if you can handle brutality because it does get brutal with time and if you love dark comedy and are a fun of survival shows potrayed in a variety show setting then this is exactly what you should watch.

Overall I found it interesting..loved the second half of it more but overall it was amazing to watch!

If you want a short weekend watch to binge in one seating look no further than THE 8 SHOW
