No brainer impression, but that's not the case

I don't get why nobody's doing justice to this series 💀 it was actually quite entertaining but the amount of negative remarks gives off the impression that the show was a no brainer. I was waiting for this to come for so long, i had it on my plan to watch way before the show was even out and i was really excited to watch it the moment it's out but i felt like waiting for it to end so i can binge watch. But when i came back i saw all these negative remarks about the ending and also about how the show was a no brainer that i just kept putting it off to watch later but yesterday i wanted to give it a try at last. I was trying to finish the series on my plan to watch and so i ending up finished the series in less than a day.


Here's what i genuinely want to say:

- The plot twists were plot twisting
- The storyline is NOT weak as other reviews make it out to be. Yes, the character backstories weren't explained in depth but only shown as glimpses and something that was implied (understanding from the situations) and I don't think I'd blame them for that because they were probably trying to make us live in the moment by using only one location mostly throughout the series. Showing an entire backstory detail to detail would have taken our mind off of the current situation and the MAIN focus of the series (the game) and it wouldn't make the game go in the flow.

- the ending is unhappy yes but unhappy in the sense, not a poor thought ending but an ending were the characters aren't happy WHICH makes the viewers unhappy.

- I saw some reviews and thought that some viewers just skipped through the series because there weren't any parts that wasn't completely left blank to the audience just a few things that the audience themselves have to figure out and it really isn't something that has to be spelled out for us to understand.

- about how the games rules work now listen like im pretty sure even the players weren't sure abt how the game works bc they only found out the rules as they played through the game. Like they only thought of killing everyone AFTER they got both the mental strength to do that and also after the incident with the death of the doctor. And it's not like they all had the intension to kill anyone literally right after they got in the game lol they were literally trying to process everything. Then after a few nights they start to adapt to this whole killing and dying thing and so they finally becomes ruthless as the episode goes.

i might've missed more things but that's not the point i want to make. The point i want to make is if you're one of those who are debating whether to watch or not I'd say go for it bc personally i felt that this series it misunderstood to be really badly executed. Ofc i wouldn't say this is the best way it could've been executed bc you never know how much better it could've been done but nevertheless this is still good enough. ^^


ps. i don't rewatch anything and so i didn't want to put a rewatch value so don't mind that.
