I went into Liar Game expecting something closer to Liar, Liar, where the focus is on clever strategies, competitive mind games, and a more entertaining, almost playful tone. Instead, it immediately felt way heavier and more cynical, with none of that balance or fun... just constant tension and people getting put into bad situations.
The way it plays out comes across as straight up "rage bait porn". It feels designed to provoke frustration, constantly setting up scenarios where things spiral in the worst possible way. Rather than being satisfying or smart, it leans into making the viewer watch things go wrong over and over again, like the entire hook is how much it can get under your skin.
At a certain point, it stops feeling like strategy altogether and just feels like bullying. The “games” aren’t really about fair competition they’re about exploiting weaker or more trusting people and breaking them down while staying within technical rules. That makes it hard to enjoy, because instead of rooting for clever plays, it just feels like watching people get picked on.
