Society Game (2016)

Overall, I enjoyed this show a lot. Compared to The Genius, there's not a lot of lies and deceit. Rather than people betraying each other and lying to each other (except maybe like one in the middle), it's more about factions and alliances; it is a lot more political. It definitely hurts my brain less to watch this than the Genius (lol).

I loved the concept of this game and seeing the differences between the two societies. It's interesting to see how people persuade each other to join their alliance. Because there were new games and challenges every episode, it always made it fun to watch the contestants compete. Rather than just competing on one category, the Society Game tests its contestants on 3 categories: physical, dexterity and mental. I think that was a good idea because it changes the games up a bit and challenges the contestants on wondering who they should eliminate next based on their contribution to the town.

Besides the games and the town, because the set was a fake town, I also enjoyed the contestants having to make their own food and survive in the jail-like town. It gave me Family Outing vibes when they were chasing chickens for dinner and eating only potatoes and rice throughout the entire show.

The cast was pretty good except for a few bland people and people that just suddenly randomly got more screen-time . It made me upset when certain people who were more talented got eliminated due to town politics but it was still fun to watch.

Overall, it you enjoyed The Genius, you'll probably like this show as well. It's more sheep-like compared to the extremities of The Genius.
