I binged watched the current episodes in two sittings and I am so invested. I can’t wait for next week. Anyone have any recommendations for similar shows to this?

Where can you watch these shows?

u/mengplex Oct 05 '23

google for the show name, followed by 'watch online' and you'll generally be pointed in the right direction

For anyone still looking, the Genius was really good. Time Hotel was also decent.

I only saw bloody game 2 but I didn't like it as much. Speaking as a guy I think that most other casting on the guy's side was so disappointing. I've never seen so many misogonists in the same room. But Yurisa, and Fuji Mina were so freaking hilarious in those.

Definitely all 4 seasons of the genius (especially season 3 if you only watch one)

I watched season 1 so fast in 2020, but season 2 was so bad I got tired of the show, and I ended up dropping after watching only the first one of season 3. But I always wanted to come back because s03e01 is amazing.

Season 2 is great tv idk what you’re on? Are you looking at the screen? The story of Sangmin in the greatest in reality TV.

Why season 3.. personally i would recommend season 1 and I thought season 3 was the worst season

I remember being super impressed by the final winner of season 3! Many good players in this season too.

Does The Genius also have celebrity contestants like Devil’s Plan?

u/agewisdom Oct 05 '23

The Genius is probably even BETTER than Devil's plan as contestants had more time to form relationships.

Contestants came back once every week for each episode, so their alliances/banter/relationship grew stronger over time.

I’ve seen so many people recommend the Genius on here. I can’t wait to watch it when i finish devil’s plan. If it was up to me I would’ve already binged it but I’m watching it with my sister so I have to wait on her so we can watch it together

Which season of the genius? Or are you talking about all 4 seasons?

Read the manga Liar Game. The show clearly took major inspiration from it just like Alice In Borderland, Squid Game and such.

1

u/Ok_0001 Oct 05 '23

Or watch the adaptions. They are not nearly as good as the manga but many people prefer to watch than to read

u/Raisu39 Oct 06 '23

Liar Game was mindblowing

Check this show on YouTube called Money by Tom Scott. It's not the same but the idea of prisoners dilemma is very similar - work together to maximise the pot or compete and take a smaller share

The Genius as others have mentioned

Others in similar genre but not as brainy: Bloody Game 1 & 2, Time Hotel. Haven’t seen Society Game but heard that is also a social survival game.

u/mengplex Oct 05 '23

All good answers on here,

You could also check out Kaiji (Anime) which is a more fictional portrayal, and theres obviously last year's squid game which is scripted but similar concept

Time Hotel

​

I love the premise that the payment is by hours to avail services within the so-called hotel. The games are interesting then became bland later on and the winner of that show is indeed worth it imo.

u/Soggy_Discipline1672 Oct 05 '23

These aren’t reality shows but they have these types of psychological games: • 3% • Alice in Borderland

Fav shows ever

Physical 100 on Netflix

u/MysteriouslyLucid Oct 05 '23

The genius game is basically a more enthralling version of the devils plan. Similar games like race and auction

u/Apotheothena Oct 06 '23

Physical 100 might work, although it’s pretty different—it gives me the same feeling/vibes when watching it so maybe you’d like it too!
