It's great. I watched all episodes, it does falter in the finale but overall very enjoyable show.

This show is stupid. I made it an episode and a half before bailing.

I would like to understand how is it stupid. I got Hunger Games vibes without the emotional dilemna of the main character.

It's excellent, easily the best show in years. Dramatic, gripping and thrilling from start to finish.

Trying to avoid spoilers online (mostly have, just seen some images of a bunch of people in a large dirt field), so I'll ask here rather than look it up since that'd certainly result in being spoiled:

Is this a game show, a reality show, or a drama?

It indeed have hunger games vibe. But it is overall much better than hunger games and very engaging. No wonder it is breaking all viewership records

I'm on episode 2. Entertaining so far but nothing too groundbreaking IMO.

I was thinking of the same thing because Netflix is very protective of its IP. Do you think Netflix itself could make an English version of it in future since the series is quite famous and from the looks of it cheap to make?

Hmm agreed. So we most likely won't get an English reboot though a similar concept can be adapted with minor changes.

I enjoyed the show a lot overall. The marbles episode in particular was fantastic. Two things I didn't like were the scenes with the VIPs (god awful yeesh) and the ending.

I agree with the ending being a disappointment but I loved what they did with VIPs even though it was cringey and could have been dealt better.
