Haven't seen The Traitors, but recently started watching a Korean Netflix show called The 8 Show and the plot involves some mystery organizer (similar to Squid Game, I suppose) creating a setup that is a microcosmic version of trickle-down economics. I'm currently taking a break from the show because the behavior of the most powerful player in the game was so on point with what we see in reality, it became blood-boiling!

While on the subject of Korean (game) shows, I found The Devil's Plan quite enjoyable.


The Devil's Plan is in my top5 reality shows easily

There was very little extra drama and everyone was super smart and tried to game the game into getting everyone as far as possible.

And the metagame with the secrets within secrets was chefskiss perfection


Just wanted to thank you for the reccomendation, the premise looks extremely interesting.
