Least horrible version: It's all actors, they're all actors.
Minimally acceptable version: They think they're working a minimum wage job and at the end they get handed six figures for one day's work and also there's only six episodes because everyone else said "gently caress no you can't show this you sociopaths" and punched him in the face while still getting the money.
Actually acceptable version: It's just a six hour supercut of prankees punching prankers in the face while getting paid for it.

Netflix has ordered eight episodes of Prank Encounters, a hidden-camera prank show executive produced and hosted by Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo. The show, which had been in the works for months, hails from Ben Silverman and Howard Owens’ Propagate. It’s set to launch later this year.

Each episode of this terrifying and hilarious prank show takes two complete strangers who each think they’re starting their first day at a new job. It’s business as usual until their paths collide and these part-time jobs turn into full-time nightmares.

If it's not been filmed yet we need a large scale public awareness campaign instructing everyone staring a new job to spend the first day at work just constantly ripping on stranger things and especially "that weird gremlin boy"

it's even worse than I thought

literally offering people fake jobs and then using the employment relationship to torment them

between this and the torture game show, Netflix is taking reality TV to all-new depths of unethical horror and abuse

It turns out advertising on cable TV was the only thing preventing it from devolving into straight up misery porn.

no, the shock one is an entirely different thing from a couple months back, it's the torture gameshow I was referring to. it's called Flinch

the contestants undergo some kind of startle challenge while in an uncomfortable position. if they flinch, they're punished with some sort of painful physical torture (such as electrocution or waterboarding) while a trio of comedian narrators crack jokes about it

Maybe shows letting children torture people are bad

Eventually there will be a prank show which is just recreating the Home Alone movies.

I have a real love hate relationship with the movies

IE
The movies are often incredibly one note but competent.

And given a death of the author perspective, a movie be trying to hammer it's metephor or message home real hard.I can't fault a film for hammering it's message home with a sledgehammer

I'll take decent movie with and understandable thesis over dumb chaff any day

So, I guess at the very least Netflix is trying to raise the average with its films and occasionally you get a real cool one. Like annihilation was super dope and I am mother was an enjoyable thriller of sorts?

:Edit: phasing through a lot of languages ATM:
