Real-life Squid Game 2.0? Physical: 100 is a new Survivor-esque reality TV series that brings together 100 of South Korea’s greatest athletes and celebrities for a series of grueling physical challenges as they fight to become the last one standing and claim a prize of KRW 300 mn (about USD 240k). The show has drawn comparisons to the viral South Korean drama Squid Game for its ruthless premise and backbreaking challenges, one of which sees contestants hanging from metal bars on a ceiling until they drop off into the water below. Our two cents: It's entertaining to watch a diverse group of contestants — men, women, YouTube stars, K-pop dancers, and Olympic gold medalists — compete in this fight-to-the-death style. While there’s no ruthless killing a la Squid Game, the tensions run pretty high throughout the hour-long episodes. Episodes are out weekly on Netflix.

This is not to be confused with Netflix’s take on a real-life Squid Game show — set to be titled Squid Game: The Challenge — which garnered controversy before it even aired. Several contestants were recently reported to have collapsed on set due to what they called “inhumane conditions,” like working long hours in the UK’s freezing weather.
