Good show! Gets progressively more ridiculous as it goes on, but I was glad the show had the balls to follow through on the consequences of the focal death game. Great production value and incredibly nerve wracking. I can very easily see why the show is as popular as it is. I had a few of the key plot details spoiled for me over the 3-4 years since this show's release, particularly the revelation about the game's creator, but it didn't negatively impact my experience, despite the reveal itself being kinda goofy. Looking forward to Season 2.
