The title of the series basically explains how it works. PewDiePie is put through situations which involve certain tasks and will usually have some sort of scare tactic with it. I was only able to see one full episode, but from that one episode, I knew just how the rest would be. This is like that TV Show you see Ads for that looks interesting. So you watch one episode, say you thought it was entertaining, then never watch it again. They could've taken this a different way, but instead it's just 20 minutes of pewdiepie in different scenarios getting freaked out and him screaming in both English and Swedish. If you're a hardcore pewdiepie fan, and don't have netflix or any other streaming service, then go for spending $10 a month to watch these. If you have netflix, hulu, or any other streaming service, stick to those. I thought this was okay. If I had to, I'd watch another one. But to be honest, it could've been better.

I saw the rating before watching it and i thought it's probably from the haters.he has a lot of them.I love Pewdiepie so i thought i would enjoy the show.but it was kinda boring to be honest.His reaction seemed fake and the show wasn't very scary.Im also ignoring the fact that they're making you pay that much for a 20 min show.Also I know that adults enjoy his contents but lets be real most of his fans are under 18.They wouldn't be able to pay that much and even if they pay for it, the content should worth it.I don't think i enjoyed any of those episodes,except the one with Mark which was kinda good.So if you're one of those people who are dying to watch the show,Im gonna tell you just don't it's not worth the money.

Dear Youtube,

#BringBackScarePewdiepieSeason2

Yours truly,

Eduardo Ramos.

Felix is decent, but the production itself really lacks. It feels a bit like scare tactics only not as good.. in fact I'm pretty sure I spotted a few people in it who were also in Scare Tactics. If you have youtube red then it might be worth it just to pass the time on a boring day but otherwise I would avoid it and just was his other videos.

The only things I did enjoy a little bit is when they had guest on to help Felix out.

I will also say that some of this stuff is obviously scripted, there is a portion where they have Felix talking to himself over the sound system and he responds.. there's no way it could be a "reality" show if you have pre-scripted/pre-recorded moments talking with yourself.

It's sold as a scary show, but it fails when it comes to acting, script writing and almost everything it was supposed to be. "A Scary Show". There are cameras and people everywhere while Felix pretends to be alone and confused. He screams at what seems to be low budget monsters. Sadly it's not even funny.

They make it to looks like he doesn't know what comes next, but nothing fits with it leaving us with nothing but disappointment.

That said, If Felix do something like that again but as the director, I'd watch it. He's the best entertainer youtube ever had. Any of his videos are better than this.

PewDiePie is the most subscribed YouTuber of all time, but that doesn't mean that everything he makes is flawless. Although many people in the world like his content(I do honestly). But this mess of a show has gone way too far.The ENTIRE SHOW is just screaming and cursing for comedic effect, but it doesn't work. I paid to see this show, and I thought it would be ACTUALLY good since I enjoy watching PewDiePie. I really don't recommend this atrocity and it's best to skip it. I guess YouTube Red movies like "Lazer Team" and "Unicorn Island" were actually OK, so please, even if you are a fan of PewDiePie, you probably won't like the show.

"Scare Pewdiepie" is the natural product of the Internet's obsession with reaction videos, of our willingness to waste hours of our lives watching other people be shocked, joyful, sad, or scared.

The show's conceit is that, for ten episodes, you get to watch YouTube celebrity Felix Kjellberg get scared by a variety of artificial haunted house setups intended to shock him or gross him out. Except most of these situations don't scare him so much as startle him.

They don't creep him out or frighten him, they merely provide a series of unending and uncreative jump scares. In four of the episodes -- the first, second, eighth, and tenth -- the producers don't even bother trying to scare him at all. The first and tenth episodes are essentially con man schemes, with the producers tricking him into believing he's either attending a doctor's visit or a wrap party before shocking him with weird characters, twists, or events, while the second and eighth episodes place Pewdiepie in an "Alien: Isolation"-esque environment and a mock-"Call of Duty" game, respectively. Points to the second episode are warranted, however, because although it isn't frightening for him, it's one of the only episodes that truly feels like he's living a video game.

If that was the goal of the entire show, then most of the other episodes fail miserably. The rest, particularly the third and fourth, feel too much like walking through a haunted house, which would be entertaining if anything was intended to scare the audience.

Watching Felix traverse these dull, repetitive horror mazes on his own would be torturously boring were it not for the infrequent guest star. It's no coincidence that the show's most fun, most entertaining, and most effective episodes are episode 2, "We're Not Alone," featuring Markiplier, and episode 6, "The Ultimate Hang," featuring Arin from Gamegrumps and Matpat from The Game Theorists. (Yes, I know I said episode 2 wasn't scary, but it was more entertaining than the scary ones.)

Felix wandering around alone in these episodes is like watching Lou Costello aimlessly stroll through an Abbott and Costello movie without Abbott. Pewdiepie is naturally goofy and silly, but he's also terrible at video games, and having someone around to call him out on his s--- feels essential to the show's structure. When a season 2 gets made, I would only tune in if there was a guest star in every episode because without that banter, it really is just one 20-minute reaction video after another, with very little innovation or attempts at comedy.

I could go on and complain about the repetitive episode structure, the bad acting, the lame visual effects, or the lack of consequences for Pewdiepie's constant f---uppery. But you know if you want to watch this show. It's called "Scare Pewdiepie." If you don't already like him as an entertainer, then there's nothing here for you.

This was made exclusively for Pewdiepie fans, and its second and sixth episodes are genuinely excellent. One just wishes they put more thought and care into the production, and didn't rely so much on the title. Because as Felix himself says in the fourth episode, it's not really "Scare Pewdiepie" as much as it's "Mindfuck Pewdiepie," and when your namesake star starts smelling the bulls---, you know something's gone wrong.

I'm a bro of Pewdiepie/Felix's channel on YouTube as well as a subscriber. When I found out that he was doing this Scare Pewdiepie show I was excited. Unfortunately the show let me down big time. Scare Pewdiepie is basically the show 'Scare Tactics' but they scare the same person 10 times and tell him he's going to be scared beforehand.The scares are just too weak when the victim knows they're coming. Another big problem I had was the fact that there are camera's everywhere. There's a camera strapped to Pewds the whole time, camera's placed around the room and even camera men in certain shots standing 3 feet from Felix. How can you scare someone when they have all this crap in their face reminding them that it's all fabricated. In one episode you can see that they're filming in some sort of warehouse with lighting and that the walls aren't even part of an actual building just staged. If you can see it on camera you know Pewds is seeing even more. Then there's the cameos which feel forced just to bring in more of the YouTube community and make the scares even less frightening/realistic. I honestly have nothing good to say about this series and feel YouTube only did it to get people to sign up for their new YouTube Red subscription service. I hope Pewds sticks to what he's good at because I really do like his lets plays but this was awful.

I joined the one month free YouTube red subscription to watch it and it didn't let me down, it was fun to watch a grown man scream and was generally entertaining. Some parts were a little dull but over all it was really great. The biggest down fall to this series it that it's on YouTube red and YouTube red is a money grab from YouTube, this series would have been so much better if it was free like all of pewdiepie's other content, although in saying that the production value in scare pewdiepie was great so I imagine it would have cost a lot to make so it's understandable that they would want to make some of that money back

a complete utter boring waste of time. i know this guy is famous on YouTube, but why YouTube red would decide to finance this load of crap boggles my mind. i could hardly sit through two full episodes and don't plan on watching any of the other ones. extremely boring and not funny in the least bit. only for true pewdiepie fans, who are probably just as dull and boring as this show. i wish i could give it zero stars for making me suffer through two episodes! i hope YouTube red has better shows than this turd in the works.

Sure, it can be a little cringe, but all in all a really great show. I enjoy seeing Pewdiepie in a different environment to YouTube and the whole show has a feel good vibe. I recommend to anyone who has some time on their hands a love for all things Felix. It is not masterpiece but for a YouTuber show is surprising high budget and well made. Also, please bring back Season 2, if not for Felix then for us. A alot of people worked on it but they need it to show their work. 10/10

I will only say, yes, it is fun to watch but its not way more fun then PewDiePies normal gameplaying videos. I wont say review anything stupid like storyline because that is not important here so I will only talk about the production. I actually liked the first episode til I saw that in some cases, there wasn't even a roof in the "sceneries" he went into. It was a studio which I get, yes, even though it wouldn't be hard to fit a warehouse with these things which they, kind off do later on the show, I get the fact that it might be in a studio but still, with that good sceneries, they could've made it feel better. But small things like this make you watch the show, not with a mind thinking "wow, thats so authentic" and neither thinking "this is soooo fake" but rather find yourself wondering how authentic it is, watching the show thinking "hmm, was this a genuine reaction, it seemed that way, is he still convinced its real or has he realized the "show" has started because that reaction felt fake?" or "Does he now this act is real or fake". I give it a 6 because it is fun nonetheless but has a lot of room for development. Maybe season 2?

This show "Scare PewDiePie" is the laziest 'show' I've seen in quite a while. This would be a whole lot better if it weren't so fake. Like most reality shows they are trying to trick the audience into believing this real, that PewDiePie doesn't know everything that they are going to do. This DOESN'T WORK on this show! Seriously, it's about scaring a YouTuber and putting him in scary scenarios (sometimes video game related). This isn't like 'Operation Repo' where it's entertaining to watch, whether it is real or not. Scare Pewdiepie might be fun to watch if it wasn't all scripted, and even if it was scripted, HIRE BETTER ACTORS - this show is made for 10 year olds (not a joke)

When my friend Hewyn told me to watch this I didn't have much hope for it, but I have to say I was positively gobsmacked when I watched it. There is nothing better than a heckin fun time with Felix and I worship him everyday of my life now. I have shaved my pubes to make it look like his beard but it freaks out my gf and she won't give me blowey joey.

This series is a cinematic masterpiece and pretty much the reason why God hasn't just killed us off. The camera angles are orgasmic and always do justice to pewdiepie's beautiful features. I have never witnessed such grace on the small screen and it was well worth the £999.999 a day to watch it. Great odea by YouTube to make people pay for something they'll just stream for free except nobody will because it's garbage.

10/10

Over acted terrible youtube red show have nothing against youtube star pewdiepie but this show is so terribly acted i don't know where they get them from but seems like they have no acting skills at all all the people scaring him are not even at haunted house level just worse acting i have ever seen i like the idea of the show but dose have a fear factor vibe but with a video game twist which i liked about the show apart from that a poor show

It's much akin to MattPat's GameLab, but GameLab was so much better. There were some parts that I genuinely laughed at, but for the most part It was just your stereotypical YouTubeRed, meh, experience. Super boring, super forced, and super lame. Do something else with your time, really.

Nobody will pay to watch YouTube.. If i had to pay, i would rather get a movie which will entertain me way more than a YouTube video.

Not to mention, better quality. The only reason YouTube is popular is because it's "FREE". YouTubers sucks at entertaining compare to Hollywood. Not even one Youtuber made me think "Yeah, i would pay to watch this channel".. YouTube = Time pass.

They say: "Your review does not contain enough lines - the minimum length for reviews is 10 lines of text."

Do i have anything more to say other than saying this sucks. one word "sucks".

If you wanna get the best from this show, I recommend watching the 1st episode and the 5th episode. The first episode is less scripted, and seems more plausible, since it looks like Felix genuinely doesn't know what's going on, and we can see his genuine reactions, which are much more attractive than his overreacted screams he fakes in other episodes. I'd love to see more stuff like that, honestly. The 5th episode parodies the horror quest games quite nicely, and it has more suspense than jump scares. I think it would've worked better if they would've focused more onto suspense, creating a creepy atmosphere and actual quests than blunt jump scares and horror clichés. And let me tell you, PewDiePie is not the best actor, so his reactions are hardly selling as plausible. And I can't really blame him, it's hard to get scared when you know that it all us just a game and all the monsters are just the actors. Speaking of actors, they are really meh and their acting is not the best. Decorations look quite cheap. I think the whole show depends on whether you like Felix and enjoy his reactions or not. It's not very interesting to watch when you know that Felix is always gonna win the game no matter what. The whole show is too obviously scripted, even the people who swear to be a part of a filming group turn out to be actors afterwards. I think I'm gonna give it a 4,5. It's a pretty mediocre show, not great, but not that terrible either.

I find this show extremely hilarious and I love it. PewdiePie on YouTube is not as funny as this serious but he is still the Pewdiepie we all know and love! You wouldn't expect many people to watch this as it is only available to YouTube Red users but it is amazing and fun and I am recommending this to all my friends and also to family. I've loved pewdiepie for a long time now (on and off) and apparently I must be on my on period to be liking him so much right now but this show definitely goes in my top ten shows of all time and my top 3 shows of 2016, and you would be surprised at how many shows I've watched in 2016 already. So don't trust the reviews because this show deserves at least 8/10 stars so don't be scared to watch it (but do be scared to watch what is in it). Enjoy (;

"Scare PewDiePie" honestly showed a lot of potential as a horror series, but mostly felt like a misfire.

The lead personality PewDiePie has strong stage presence and charisma, which makes it easy for the viewers to appreciate him. Even then, he still remains very human onscreen, which makes him relatable as a person. Every time he has to solve a challenge or overcome a scary obstacle, it is hard not to root for the man. He truly carried the series.

The guests like Markiplier and MatPat are well-utilized as well, which is a bonus.

However, the flaws of the show are more from the quality and game design overall.

First and foremost, the fear factor is very hit-or-miss. Some of the "horror houses" or "escape room" locations, like the alien spaceship, haunted hotel, and spooky arcade, are AWESOME, while others look like they came straight out of a low-budget carnival, which makes the tone of the show very inconsistent. At times, the escape rooms are very amateur-looking, and other times, they are professional-looking. The same can be said for the horror actors, who are either very convincing as scary threats, or are like Trick-or-Treating toddlers trying to jumpscare an adult.

The game design is poor. PewDiePie is not given much consequences for making mistakes, and is given too many tries despite the fact that he is a gamer who should understand horror games well by that point. The line between "horror house" and "escape room" is blurred for better and for worse, but mostly for worse. Having more thought-provoking puzzles rather than straightforward puzzles would have benefited the enjoyability of the series, and gave PewDiePie true challenges to overcome.

Overall, this series has potential, and still deserves a BroFist for the effort!

mainly directed for pewdiepie fans\lovers, or prank video lovers, this show revolves around the youtuber Felix Kjellberg better known as pewdiepie.

pewdiepie became famous due to his very entertaining YouTube videos where he records himself playing and reacting to various video games. his 42 million subscribers speak for themselves.

anyhoo, this show takes pewdiepie outside his comfort zone and places him in real life directed and acted out situations where the games he usually play come to life.

in my opinion, the writers of the show failed to realize the essence of pewdiepie. this show is directed and written more like a prank show, where pewdiepie is inserted into a situation without any preparation and then just being scared and jump-scared, which is very funny but can get boring after a while.

my main issue with the show is that pewds was treated a bit like an idiot who is passed around from one situation to another. admit-ably, and self proclaimed, pewds is not the sharpest tool in the box, but he is the number one youtuber by far. that means he is an expert in getting views, much more than any of the writers of the show. pewds has much much more to offer and its too bad that the producers failed to see that.

nonetheless, pewds is the best and i think everybody should at least try one or two episodes because of his amazing and funny personality that makes it a great fun for us to go through all these adventures with him

It isn't something you should go out of your way to watch but it was still an enjoyable experience.

Very good. I think he is making his 2nd season which is a giant breakthrough. It the only YouTube Red series. The scarcest episode is Definitely episode 3. That is because of a creepy child and voice. Now for ratings for each episode. Episode 1 : Let's Play Doctor 7/10 Episode 2 : We're Not Alone 9/10 Episode 3 : Hello Timmy 5/10 Episode 4 : Time To Die Mr. Pie 8/10 Episode 5 : Please Enjoy Your Stay 7/10 Episode 6 : The Ultimate Hangout 8/10 Episode 7 : I'm Not Crazy 8/10 Episode 8 : Call Of PewDiePie 9/10 Episode 9 : Naughty Pie 6/10 Episode 10 : Game Over 3/10. Only a few of those are because of scariness. Ep 10 is just basically a wrap up party.
