When your co-workers and the police are scarier than a psychopathic killer ...

This was very good. For the first 5 episodes. Nice pace, creative story, binge-worthy. And then it suffered from the all too common everyone-except-the-bad-guy-behaves-extremely-stupid-all-the-time syndrome and was stretched out into way too many episodes. 10 or maybe 12 episodes could have saved this. Or more creative writing. If they wouldn't have created such a power-imbalance between the male leads so early on, they could have had a few funny/thrilling episodes where they were rival killers or friends or scared of the other or whatever ... But what they chose instead was to let all the stupid people make all the stupid mistakes time and time again, ignoring all the read flags and alarm bells all around ... makes for a very frustrating watch for episodes 6 to 14 or so.

Minor observations:
- The hair gel gangster was such a funny character.
- The pushover's family was very nice. Would have loved to see them more.
- What's the deal with the internal revision lady? Her motivations stayed unclear till the end.
- How many times has this police officer NOT used her gun? Would have served her right to be killed ... *arghh*
- The co-workers would have deserved some more revenge. The toilet scene with the immediate superior was a good start, but not enough.
- The finale with the escape room must have been a joke, right? Could have been so much better with a better (longer) use of the escape room to tease the bad guy a bit longer. And what happened after the escape room was ridiculous.
- At one point, MDL hat the bromance tag on this. It was removed. Rightfully so, as there is no bromance.
