A waste of 90 minutes of my life

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Who in their right mind would turn to MTV for a soap opera? Spyder Games' sole existence was obviously because MTV had 30 minutes to use up, which could have easily been done by showing some Cribs reruns or, here's a thought.some VIDEOS?It's not that the acting was bad, it's that the characters were uninteresting and the storylines went nowhere. I'm glad this show got laid to rest quick.Anthony Rupert

Okay so SPYDER GAMES will never win an EMMY, or GOLDEN GLOBE, Okay so it will never win any award, but it is definetly one of the most engaging and intriguing series i have ever seen. The plots and sub-plots are shocking and hilarous and moving and dramatic. The acting is what u should expect from what is made up of mostly newcomers. however soem performances, like those of Shawn Batten, and Christina Chambers are standouts! The guys are goodlooking, like byron fields (the incredably sexy Ivan), Bryce Mouer (Lyle), and the hottest of them all the one and only Dimitri Carlise himself (cannot remember his name). The writing is aboslutley great! i would recommend this show to anyone that is into sexy, escaptist fun! bravo to MTV for creating and airing such a brillant, sexy and overall great series!

So maybe _Spyder Games_ is not the most original show on television. And maybe the actors are a little green. And well, yeah, the story lines are a bit predictable. But so what? _Spyder Games_ is less an original soap and more an homage to the genre. And when it comes to the completely empty calories and mindless entertainment soaps provide, _Spyder Games_ is spot on.The creators of the show are self-proclaimed longtime soap fans, and it clearly shows in their work. SG utilises practically every plot twist and character flaw classique ever used, save the ground-breaking [don't laugh] Ivan-is-gay story line. (Well, Erica's daughter is a lesbian on _All My Children_, so perhaps 'unprecedented' is more appropriate. Gay men are indeed a soap rarity.) And while the plot may seem a bit trite, there's something amusing and comfortable in such blatant cliché.SG really deserves kudos for its campy experience in escapism. If anything, it offers its viewers a half hour out of the day to abandon all faculties of the brain and space out in its mindlessness. Its one stroke of true genius is a cast including _Sunset Beach_ alum Shawn Batten and Christina Chambers, Go-Go's guitarist and green-haired pixie Jane Wiedlin, and the John Waters Baroness Mink Stole. Beyond that, it's just brilliant. And not in the conventional sense, but rather in its reverence to the housewife-stories from which it was born.

I work an 8:00am to 5:00pm job and so I never get to watch soaps during the day. However, I really enjoy watching Spyder Games on MTV. I always make sure I am home at 7:00 to watch it. If I do miss it I try to stay up for the 11:00 show. It is really kind-of cheesy, but that is what makes it so cool. I hope MTV NEVER cancels it. I hope to see the show for many, many years! Long Live Spyder Games!!!
