While picking a picture for thread cover image (check it out) i stumbled upon some other random photos of TG cast made after the series finale:

Depends on your taste. There isn't specifically a Genius style show, but there are a handful of entertaining ones. I'll skip Crime Scene since it's already finished.
If you like Cooking: TAKE CARE OF MY FRIDGE
The name seems to vary based on the subtitler, but basically, two funny hosts, 8 professional chefs, and 2 celebrity guests per week. They literally haul in your fridge, and then per requests from each guest, cook amazing meals in a series of 15min, 1v1 matches. So it's like a very neighborly version of Iron Chef.
If you like Lying: VILLAGE OF EIGHT
8 celebrities (a mix of comedians, actors, and singers) meet in an obscure Korean fishing village. They must stay 2 days and 1 night because...there is a cheque for $10,000 hidden somewhere. But: one of the 8 actually planted the cheque and can only take the money by secretly working against everyone else. On the final hour, the cast must vote who they think took the money - if they are right, the money is removed. It's a mix of just straight-face lying to hide what's going on, clue investigation (one of the cast from Crime Scene is here), and 100% the best comedy charades battle you'll see on TV.
If you like House Hunters: WHERE IS MY HOME
Two teams of celebrities pick 3 houses each that perfectly fit the needs of a real life person. They show off he units, with two celebs acting as realtors showing off the place and the rest of both teams being in-studio to commentate. Of course, plenty of comedians, and Yong Chul from Genius is here as well (as well as Sang Min, in one case) so it's a really funny version of HH. Sadly only two episodes thus far!
If you like Comedy: MAFIA GAME IN PRISON
Take 8 celebrities on a fake prison set, and secretly tell 3 of them they are Mafia. The other 5 prisoners have a codeword only they know. Then split them into two teams of four, trigger a bunch of ridiculous games (that usually double for karaoke) followed by some truly bizarre charades and see if they can use Survivor-style eliminations to get rid of the Mafia before the end of the sequence. It's very loose and the money is minor, but seeing how they start tearing each other down in the pre-vote is hilarious. This is the least serious of all of these shows.
Serendipitous thread bump for me today. Was just thinking about The Genius yesterday for this first time in forever because I suddenly remembered how much I love Kyungran 😍😭 Gotta get back to the show and watch the later seasons.

I guess since it's been almost a year, we're probably never getting a translation of Hyunmin's second stream. I still check for it every once in a while.
I envy you folks just starting season 3. Some of my favorite players show up in that season, and there are a lot of moments that I'd love to see unfold for the first time again.

Only the first three episodes, which is still quite unfortunate.
I miss this show.
Would anyone be interested in an Era version of 'The Genius'?
Will Kyungran be there? What's her era @
Fuck, really...? Is there anyway to actually watch them now?
I'd been wanting to rewatch....
I think there is still a Mega link somewhere, unsure as to where exactly though
Aside from the mega link I don't have anymore, you can also watch the show at kshow123.net

I do think you could make a super compelling adaptation of The Genius for the US if you got the right people, both in terms of cast and producers... but the odds of that are so low, even if it was a thing that ever happened, lol.

I rewatched S1 this weekend and decided to finish S2 so I'm watching it from the beginning.
Hongchul is so annoying...

My brother switched me on to this recently and I'm 4 episodes into Season 1. It's brilliant! The zombie game was so entertaining.

Someone started to translate/recap the rest of the Hyunmin's twitch streams where he talked about TG:

Awesome, I really hope the translator completes all the videos.I like Hyunmin's bluntness but he does seem too arrogant for me.Someone started to translate/recap the rest of the Hyunmin's twitch streams where he talked about TG:

A two year bump... but I think, for once, a bump of that nature is justified.
It's finally happened. Another country decided to make their own The Genius.
Netherlands, specifically - a country that's similarly notable in that it's been continuing to produce The Mole for ages, so is possibly the right sort of country to tackle this.

From October 3rd, and I'm hearing mutterings that - all being well - there should be subs happening. The cast list:
Anna-Maja Kazarian (chess master)
Fabian Franciscus Bruin (comedian)
Feride Tosun (criminal lawyer)
Jasper Lijfering (watch dealer)
Nelke Mast (artist)
Nizar El Manouzi (actor and presenter)
Nouchka Fontijn (Olympic boxer)
Rick Broers (YouTuber/live streamer)
Roxanne Kwant (presenter/online personality)
Thomas Olde Heuvelt (thriller writer)
That does feel like it's the right *sort* of casting for The Genius; a really nice mix of backgrounds, but all of which require some sort of smarts.
Terrified, of course, given how fond of the original I am, but really hopeful.

It'll be interesting to see if this works, I feel a big part of why/how The Genius works so well is just how drama-light the contestants are.
I mean drama happens of course but the vibe is very different, the way western reality TV works is just a different, abrasive beast(although I've never seen any from the Netherlands so maybe this isn't an issue).

You're in for a treat. I wish I could wipe my memory and watch it fresh without knowing anything.
Can't wait to see some of the opinions in the thread after watching some episodes. IT was such a treat last year when I watched an episode a night for a week.
