Off to a great start
After 2 episodes, I'm really enjoying this one.. It has an interesting premise that doesn't get too heavy-handed in its messaging, creating a pretty tight and tense ride. The characters range from likable to hateable, but they all react realistically to events and are interesting to watch. I've read that this is similar to "Squid Game," which I strangely haven't seen, but if you like that show, this one might work for you. I don't want to get too much into it because there is a lot of mystery here, but this one is solid so far. I hope it sticks the landing.Cet avis était-il utile?
ummm well
I just finished this show and I have some things to say.I found the beginning of the series intriguing and it managed to catch my attention, however, as the series progressed I felt that I lost connection with the story and the characters, which didn't seem to have a major development within the plot. In the end, everything was just cruelty and sadism leaving aside other aspects that would make us as viewers feel something more than just disturbance. I don't think the show did everything wrong as it somehow made me want to finish the episodes but I do feel, and I agree with other reviews, that it lacked something more. Also, there were a lot of plotholes and things that didn’t make sense (like they could just buy a toilet in the common room). anyway I give it a 7.

Squid Game's less interesting sister
I'm mixed about this one…Intriguing start but it gets slow and even a little gimmicky at times.Shit got real in ep 4. I think it's safe to say this show did the capitalism/hierarchy commentary better than Squid game. No matter what advantage you think you have, there will always be others in better predicaments or those who manipulate the system to work in their favor. Since comparisons are running wild I’ll go ahead and say the shock factor here wasn't nearly as engaging as Squid Game. Another thing SG did better was getting me invested in most of the main characters. Also fyi, this isn’t nearly as violent as people are making it out to be.The acting was good but it was difficult to care about anyone, even the main guy. Tbf no one person was super likable but by the end I wasn’t rooting for anyone. 8 was pretty obnoxious but she had all the personality. The music choices were nice. I really dug the intro song.
The concept is interesting enough to justify finishing this but half the show is waiting for something to happen. This was an ok watch but it's missing something to make it next level.

Started off good then went off on a rough tangent
Well that happened…The show starts off relatively good and promising.
Then as realistic depictions go… it’s gets insane.
It’s like it dived into the greed, sadism, and crazy.
The acting was top tier.. but I don’t think that would make me rewatch it… at least not the later half…
I don’t know what they were trying to truly depict in the show. Like what was the reasoning? What was the point of multiple Goliath’s? Felt tough to watch because I didn’t see any true justice dealt. I also felt most of the characters weren’t developed the best… a tad tough to watch.. and some people just got harder and harder to watch…
Wow I’ve said tough to watch a lot..
The action sequences were quite well done though. Music was also well selected…
Wouldn’t super recommend but if you want something with lots of voice over and almost an abstract concept.. have at it.

RESEÑA <3
Lo definiría como thriller.Es una comedura de cabeza durante los 8 episodios y desde el principio hasta el fin.
Si que hubo algunas partes que no las acabé de entender muy bien y quizá otras partes donde la imagen (tema visual) era muy exagerado.
Sentí que en el último capítulo, hubo cosas fuera de contexto, solo para generar más minutos a la serie.
El final te da a entender otra cosa.
La verdad que me gustó, pero pensé que me iba a gustar más.
