TV Shows You’re Currently Watching (NOT ANIME)

I just finished The 8 Show. I finished Squid game, which impressed me. The 8 Show is more like a black comedy. It's got loads of violence. But one of the rules is that the game will automatically end if someone dies. It's based on the Korean webtoons Money Game and Pie Game, which I am reading. All of these kind of remind me of The Running Man. There's gonna be a remake of that movie. I hope it matches the novella better. It looks like it will.

I don't know if they will keep the whole plot. It's a dystopia where the poor compete in dangerous reality games to obtain necessities. I remember a passage where terminally ill people had to run on a treadmill to compete for organ donations. If everyone drops dead before you then you win. MC has a very sick daughter he can't afford to treat. So he competes in The Running Man in order to win the money to save her. The thing is, I don't know if the filmmakers will have the balls to do the novella justice. I'll be very disappointed if they change the ending.

I loved The 8 Show!

I'm currently watching Beverly Hills, 90210. Man, it's so cheesy

Twisted Metal Season 2 is so good I can forgive the writer for shuffling all the game references.
Hopefully Fallout Season 2 could manage to reach the similiar expectations if not better.

I loved it though. I felt so grown up watching 90210 as a kid. I like the episode where Steve does an infomercial.
