I am 6 episodes into season 1 and the only thing this show has going for it is the ludicrous mini-games and the good-looking cast. The plot is nonsense and the dialog is a cringe-fest.

On the bright side, I can see Tao Tsuchiya as Faith Connors in a Mirror's Edge™ series, but she needs a better parkour instructor. Sadly, I doubt Electronic Arts cares enough about ME™ to finance a series for it. One was announced years ago, then nothing ever happened.

I'm gonna speed through the last couple episodes, and after that, I think I'm done.

This garbage has a higher rating than Penny Dreadful (2014) here on TMDB. Que?!

What a great TV show. It reminds me another great TV show "Squid Game". If you like that one, you will like this one too.
