    Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

    Alternatively, The New Stanford Prison Experiment is a dystopian horror where you’re assigned to a seeming paradise that on the surface looks like an upscale outdoor mall for the fabulously wealthy but then you have to live in a box 45 miles away or in a Pearce Mitchell condo made of cardboard.

    The New Stanford Prison Experiment is really good. Of course reality tv show producing aside, there is a lot of greater social issues and dynamics at play. The varied cultural responses to authority and wielding power is super fascinating. Can’t wait to cover this on @crimeseenpod.bsky.social

    As phrases go, "Netflix Presents The New Stanford Prison Experiment" is as close as we're going to get to "The Year of the Depend Undergarment" in the absurd dystopia department. I hope.

    I reviewed Netflix's The New Stanford Prison Experiment, though I gave up after the second episode. That's when producers started meddling, giving the cast members playing guards challenges, like putting on riot gear and handcuffing all the cast members playing inmates.
