What a poorly directed series this is. It had to look like Big Brother but with a different jacket. My opinion against this mission has totally failed.

Absolutely FAKE

Bunch of actors playing characters (pretending to be players) in "reality" show. Not a single one of them was likeable and the trashiest of them all won. It was actually sometimes kind of fun, but very bizzare. No second season needed.
what?
montanaa-1665922 October 2021
Was even happening?
I kept waiting for the clue, a story, twist, something?
It was sort of entertaining, in the way this sort of exaggerated reality tv is entertaining.
But, since the characters were very obviously actors, that so called 'entertainment', that usually brings out a nervous giggle, aswell as some heavy cringing over the weirdly satyisfying secondhand embarrassment that watching a bunch of trainwrecks doing worse in life than yourself creates, wasn't seeping in without me having to force it lol.
Like i dont think I've ever seen a realityshow, not even the ones where literally everyone is off their face or hungover 99% of the time, that had these amounts of (hysterical) crying.
Very unrealistic tbh.
Also, looots of mini build-ups leading to..nothing at all.
That too was getting pretty frustrating pretty damn quickly.
Turned it off after realising i was doing a lot but actually watching the show.
Very odd idea for a show. The point has to dawn on me still.

Worst reality show winner ever
djuric-0454926 October 2021
Don't recommend to anyone, it's so annoying, winner is most terrible person in whole show. I don't know how anyone can like this show? Too much stupid things, unreasonable, winner is decided by aliances?? Nothing good here, suggest anyone who thinks to watch to just skip this, pointless, save your time!
WTF?! Do not watch!
PosepnyCzerep28 October 2021
No actual plot whatsoever, despite the main secret host being a famous actress from Casa de Papel, that is constantly implying that there is a secret to be revealed, riiiight around the corner. There isn't.
If you watch and like reality shows, give this one a hard pass. No activities, no fun, just sad and boring drama, and it all seems forcibly scripted, which is somewhat confirmed in maybe 5th or 6th episode.
But if you decide to watch it (please don't), but if you do... The most annoying person in that basement will win this, and that is just a last nail in that coffin.

Ok so I watched the whole thing. The premise is pretty much that we should expect any kind of twist at any time because there can always be a surprise around the corner. In the end, after watching it I feel kinda lost. In the end the game is completely without strategy and it ends up being a fairly straightforward popularity contest. Unfortunately I found the popular group to be relentlessly antagonistic and unlikeable. In the end I felt a bit cheated as a viewer. After all we spend the most time watching those who are not eliminated, building an interest in them. Their fate is left in the hands of some who we barely even saw at all. Not to mention, if there really was a prize at the end why did they arbitrarily remove three people for seemingly no reason at all. It's almost as if they fixed the entire game on a daily by bases. Personally the first guy they sent home seemed like a great contestant.
Again I watched the whole thing and I was both confused by the entire concept and angry at the way they chose the winner. And I didn't like Nicole. She was mean to everyone outside of her LGBTQ circle. She was even mean to Ivan who was absolutely loyal in keeping her from being voted off. She also knew everything was being recorded but that didn't stop her from going out of her way to humiliate people who weren't in on the secret. The absolutely kindest individual was Laura and possibly Fawa who are barely paid attention to in the series.
Anyway I didn't enjoy this one and wouldn't feel any lose if Netflix doesn't do another season of it. I don't think I'd watch if they did.

No premise, cruelly manipulative and violent
thsalf10203 November 2021
This is the worst "reality show" Netflix has put out yet. Do not watch it. I would've given this a -1 out 10 if it was an available rating number.
There's no premise. Everyone acts like they're not yet on the show, but they're all acting like the test rounds are the show. I.e. It all feels very scripted, like you're watching a drama about a reality tv show that pretends it's not a reality tv show.
I turned it off after the middle of episode 2 when they made the contestants use a gun to kill animals. That is completely unnecessary for a reality tv show, and cruelly manipulative to contestants (if they weren't acting so well).
This should have never been allowed on Netflix, or any tv.

What the ****?
paaaaaatrick22 October 2021
What the actual **** was this? The most non-contextual, boring and straight up unnecessary "reality" show I have ever watched. And this is coming from a reality hardcore fan.
No challenges, the whole show seems like a fever dream. Over dramatic, no suspense, weird "secrets" with no context. Overacted overall. Weird jumping back and forth. At times I thought my Netflix was bugging as I found myself not remotely understanding what was going on.
Biggest waste of time, space and money. Avoid at all costs.

Unbearable
Geeyum31 May 2022
As with nearly all Spanish TV programs, this program is way over-done. The idea of the show is good, similar to Big Brother, but with a potentially good twist, Unfortunately, as always when Spanish production gets its hand on a show, it milks out things too much. Just look at the Spanish versions of The Voice, Got Talent, etc. They go on for so many hours until the viewer can no longet stand it. Instead of 1 hour, they are at least 4 hours in Spain. You want to destroy a fairly okay reality show, give it to a Spanish production team. Had to force myself to watch Season 1, just to give it a fair shot.
This is so funny

Simply horrible
sschmarje22 October 2021
What have I just seen?
Don't waste your time... This "reality show" is so extremely unrealistic, obviously fake (all of them very bad actors btw and horrible personalities) and it is simply cringe and so weird. Drama, tears and empty plots everywhere.
Besides that, it is extremely boring and it makes you ask constantly "What the ****?"
Worst show I have ever seen... I can only recommend you to stay far away from it!

Most entertaining reality show ever!

I have always believed that reality shows must be mainly focused on human psychology and emotional nurture, if not, then why its a reality show? I have been looking for shows that focuses on the psychological aspects for years, most of them unfortunately are targeting the mass audience so they try to add some shallow games and story lines to sell it until Insiders was released ...... wow, thats all I can say! It reminded me of the psychological experiment of Stanford University on 1977 but with a better content and deeper ideas. Well done! Though I understand why most viewers did not like it as its targeting a very niche audience base, not the mass.
Must watch for Spanish speakers
davidbejarano25 October 2021
Najwa Nimri was the main reason why I watched the show. The slangs in Spanish are very funny. The plot and development of the show felt a little dry and was not as shocking as it tried to be. Idk what I wanted out of this but to watch Najwa Nimri being a boss.
Hateful nasty toxic people
briansrowe6 April 2022
I keep watching trashy reality shows hoping that the terrible people will face consequences while the decent people triumph. When will I learn?
The real lesson of this show is how toxic a victim mentality can be. And unfortunately it gets rewarded in this show. Highly disappointing.

I love "Reality" shows so I played Insiders as soon as I saw it on Netflix. I've watched the whole thing in three days. I watched every episode with the hope that one person gets eliminated. That didn't happen. What happened is the exact opposite. That person won. The problem with this show is that the winner gets to be chosen by the other participants, so this kind of person wins. If this would've been a "real" "reality" show where actual people could vote, the person who won would've been long gone.
Psychological Torture
waseemahk30 October 2021
With the amount of anxiety and paranoia that they make these contestants go through, it's just pure torture. I thought this show would go somewhere but it made zero sense. Plus the winner was so rude and fake to everyone??? She did not deserve to win.
I hated almost all the contestants. Most of them have anger issues, love to fight for stupid things, are constantly crying, AND cheating on their real life partner. The ONLY person I liked was Laura.

This has been painful to watch
yoannaa28 October 2021
I really wanted to give this show a chance. I watched the episodes at 1.5x at times and it was still too slow and boring.
As somebody else mentioned, at one point it felt like my Netflix is skipping scenes and I was wondering what was going on. They show the eliminated person talking and then, before they finish and completely out of the blue, they show a random scene of two people talking about something completely unrelated and move on. Then, after 40 minutes and maybe in the next episode, they get back to the scene without any logical transition.
Also, there was TOO MUCH CRYING. Why was everybody crying?! As a spectator I could never see any meaningful connections built between the contestants and then one of them gets eliminated and everyone cries so much... what?! I was skipping the scenes with one particular woman who was literally crying all the time and needs to seek medical help (this is not a joke, this is serious! Saying you are unable to control yourself about anything and crying like this ALL the time seems like a medical condition and is no joke!)
Do you really think these people were actors? Come on! This is offensive towards real actors... they were just people who thought this show was gonna make them famous and were trying too hard.
I don't know if the show was that bad or just the people who did the editing/post-production completely failed but no... 1000% wouldn't recommend this show to anyone. Please, spare yourselves the pain!

Weak series
mateiilincamaria21 October 2021
Didn't like it at all, all that i could've done was to watch the first 2 episodes and the last one. It was boring, derutating and unatural. The cast was badly chosen, the concept was boring and tourtous. It was a disappointment despite the fact that I am a big fan of Spanish productions and the host.
Of course you knew who would win
elechien27 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Awful awful and the worst beta males ever. When studies show that men have lost half of the testosterone from gen x to millennials or younger it is shown in full force on this show. The victor is of course someone with mental disease and at the end the host says the best contestant is the human not a computer program. We get someone who was awful the entire type and isn't really who she is. Anyway don't watch.
Tip Off This Is Fake - Netflix Audience Fooled Too
PalmBeachG13 July 2022
OK, this started off interesting to me - kind of like a mystery to see how this was going to turn out. The 1st season was kind of interesting to watch due to a couple of love stories that seemed to blossom within the house while the filming was going on. Then the 2nd season ratcheted up the stakes to be more serious, however I started to suspect that this whole thing was fake and produced and the Netflix audience was being duped too. The reason why was that in the first season I noticed that there was one contestant wearing a "Friends" ball cap. I am from the US and of course recognized it from the famous US series "Friends". Although a popular series I thought it was a little strange to wear it in a supposed audition for a reality show. Didn't think too much of it though. Then, in the 2nd season I noticed a 2nd contestant wearing a "Friends" T-Shirt. I thought come on, what are the chances of 2 contestants from 2 different seasons wearing "Friends" Gear? Is it really that popular in Spain? I can't believe that if these were US contestants that you would find 2 different contestants from 2 different seasons wearing "Friends" Gear in the house. It clearly was an advertisement for a re-run show, or faked auditionists in the first place. Too big of a coincidence. There are probably other clues if you look hard enough. Nevertheless, the 2nd season was not as good as the first season. There was no romantic relationships made, and there was no strategy in eliminating people as in the first season. I enjoyed Peter's presence on the show though in both seasons.
Only 2

Warning: Spoilers
First I'd like to start off by saying I don't believe for a second that this is an actual reality show. I believe this is a scripted show with actors perpetrated as a reality show. Having said that, I found it to be highly entertaining in a repulsive way. Absolutely could not stand all these toxic people. Laura and Peter were my favorite characters because they displayed the best character. Absolutely could not stand the winner, won't spoil it but this person is a true pos if in fact these are real people. Second place goes to estephania, what toxic trash she was. Ive had too many gfs just like her and she disgusts me in every way. Hugo was someone I would have punched almost immediately after meeting him. Outside of the other male lead Evan pronounced E-von, all the other characters or people even though you become invested in them to some degree are forgettable and practically have less importance. I'd watch a season 2 for sure, it was different and intriguing even if it is actually fake reality TV, im still not sure. If these people are real people it makes me worry for humanity even more because they all suck so bad as people in every way and just so ignorant and stupid. Again with exception to Peter and Laura. Only normal decent people of the bunch.
So much crying it makes me cringe

itsmeduh-9287221 October 2021
I watched the show because of Najwa. It could've been better. I like the plot but the cast were overly dramatic.. I didnt care for any of them or root for anyone one to win. The winner was the most annoying cast lol.
Najwa's better than this.
darigato31 December 2021
Najwa Nimri is MILES above this material.
As the host of a "realty show within a reality show" it's her job to guide us through the lives of 12 "contestants" who must survive a gruelling audition process to become the next contestant on a Netflix reality show. But what they don't know is, there already on the reality show.
Not only are these terrible people who's pride goes right to their heads, the mere premise of the show is terrible in itself. Forcing people to relive their horrible lives, unknowingly filming them in their most uncomfortable, vulnerable moments, all of the sake of sadistic entertainment. It made me sick.
As a huge fan of Nimri, the mere fact that this is her follow up to Money Heist (2017-2021) is shocking. She had to have been contractually obligated to do this because there's no way she would have willingly chose to do so.
Even her presence couldn't stop me from being reminded of this fact: reality TV is cruel, gross and just plain BAD!
I feel sorry for her.
