Beast Games — Prime Video

Beast Games vs Squid Game: The Reality Show That Missed the Mark*

MrBeast’s Beast Games on Prime Video, where 1,000 contestants compete for a $5 million prize, lacks the emotional depth and tension that made Squid Game a global hit.

The show’s rapid pace and chaotic editing, reminiscent of MrBeast’s YouTube videos, leave little room for character development, making it hard for viewers to connect with the contestants.

Unlike Squid Game, which explored themes of desperation and inequality, Beast Games focuses more on flashy, surface-level entertainment.

The challenges, while high-stakes, often feel rushed and lack emotional weight. MrBeast’s involvement, though energetic, feels forced and self-promotional, detracting from the show’s authenticity.

With awkward product placements and a focus on spectacle over substance, Beast Games is more of a loud distraction than a serious competition series.

While it may appeal to MrBeast fans, it doesn’t offer the gripping experience that Squid Game did.
