Watched the first four episodes so far. Seems entertaining enough. I always watch with subs on I can't stand dubs I think it ruins most shows.

The acting is pretty decent from the mains, facial expressions and their eyes do a lot of work be it the hopeless stare or the eyes of intent

It is what it is for a show. It's not some masterpiece but it's entertaining and I don't mind feeling a bit dirty after watching the slaughter of people almost as if I'm the VIP.

I found it a bit overhyped. I think the vast majority of people are hyping it purely on the ‘shock and awe factor’. But I’ve seen way worse movies, so to me this was mild.

But that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. Some what predictable, some of the games were weird.

I understand the idea of rich assholes starting the ‘games’ for their own amusement. But what about the hundreds of employees? The circle, triangle, squares, down to the slapping man ….. how could all these years they were able to keep it all a secret ?


My guess is when they're recruited by the slapping dude, the victim chooses their fate by the color of red or blue they choose. Red are the employees and blue are the gamers. They were able to keep it a secret because the cops nor anyone wouldn't believe these desperate people. When the gamers votes to opt out after the 1st game, and went back to their lives, he tried to reveal the secret to the police but he only sounded dumb and silly.

The slapping dude probably worked his way up or is also a rich fuck that agrees with the old man's views. Much like the front man (the cops bro) etc. Perhaps they're winners of previous games in the past and agrees with the old man and believes others like them deserves a second chance like they did. Although the current winner of the recent game didn't agree.

Maybe in season 2 they'll explain a bit more on the employee side. Circles seem like theyre the most junior and do the grunt work, triangle are security, square manages etc. Maybe they have some sort of games among them as well to move up in rank or something.

Finished. Pretty decent and fairly obvious "twists".

I don't know if I was actually satisfied with the final game or not. I don't believe he would stab himself in the neck, I thought he was going to last second stab the other guy in the face.

Him killing her in bed was good though. Quality scene. I know my wife outloud said "motherfucker" so the scene did its work.

They really missed the chance to have ‘the floor is lava’ as a game. I thought that’s what was gonna happen in the cookie licking game with all the swing set equipment

I couldn’t get into it. I got through two episodes before I gave up.
