\"blackgarnet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starts 1st October.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And so we come to the long awaited third season of Korean amaze-o-show The Genius<\/strong>, this time with an (almost) all new cast and a lovely looking set.<\/p>\n

If you’re new to The Genius, it’s a reality game based around games of logic, guile and game theory. It’s not always brilliant, but when it hits it really hits.<\/p>\n

This time round the theme is Black Garnet. Garnets are the show’s currency – the more you have the more power you potentially have as you can buy advantages in the games. But each garnet also represents prize money so there is a balance to be struck. Evidently there is a twist to come.<\/p>\n

We recommend following @bumdidlyump<\/a> on Twitter for updates as she has subtitled the previous two seasons of the show. Links will likely appear on her Tumblr<\/a>\u00a0and if you want to catch up on Seasons 1 and 2, and you should, here is a big list<\/a> of episodes. It seems to be going out on Wednesdays this time round which is a change from the usual Saturdays.\u00a0We discussed the last series here.<\/a>\u00a0Edit:<\/strong> Links to Series 3 eps.<\/a><\/p>\n

A note to our international friends – please don’t comment on episodes here until they’ve been subbed.<\/strong> We’re a UK site with a mainly UK audience. Once the English translations are up then it’s fair game.<\/p>\n

So you can avoid spoilers, links to discussion based on specific episodes can be found below.<\/p>\n
