I can't believe they tried to sell this as unscripted reality show. Before watching this I asumed it will be show with some games themed around zombies or something.

Idk why they decided to try and sell it as if contestants don't know it's fake.

I hope set designers and make up artists got paid well because that's the only thing carrying this.

Is it not on netflix for you ?

Am I missing much if I did not watch original and want to watch this ? I didn't watch 1st one because it has love triangle.

Whoah whoah it's a fantasy series not taking itself seriously and not aiming for realism.

No need to start another holy war over it.

This one is definitely well done and scripted on the lighter side but when I say every show is scripted I don't mean people straight up need to be actors and act. It's done in various ways. Sometimes during interviews they drop leading question or say something that gives them idea or encourage some stuff, etc. It still comes of natural because they don't act per say. Most of the time contestants are being manipulated and gaslight by producers.

I am not saying they are making certain people win but they definitely made sure someone would solve prison mystery because a lot was invested into that.

Argument of there being bigger price pool actually means there is bigger incentive to script stuff for investment to work out and produce higher profit. Also every contestant also gets paid just by being in the game and are hired in basically almost same contract as actors and they sign nda stuff and stuff that gives production company free range to manipulate final product. They also signed that they will not endanger production and that they will follow directions so producers can make the product which means they must follow and do stuff they were told or they break contract. To what capacity producers use this or enforce it we don't know.

I am saying one of the middle episodes not in the middle of the episode. Ofc editing put it at the end of the episode but whole lead up and execution is just 2 good and definitely helped by producers in some capacity to make it happen.

As someone who worked on few reality shows adaptations I can tell you basically every single one of them is scripted unless it's very low budget. No one will approve such high budget show without some concept and solid narative to get engaging product to meet the metrics.

When I say scripted in most good ones they do it with small nudges in the right way, give small hints, create developments for drama by placing seeds or gaslighting or be observants and intercept when corrections are needed for good narrative. When done correctly you get most of the raw emotions and reactions even tho it's kinda controlled behind the scenes.

Leaving the show to be completely unscripted would in most cases lead to disaster or just more boring to watch and money risk and even if it may work sometimes it would still come out better with proper scripted execution.

This is why many are fooled when it's done right.

I disagree. While it may be somewhat random, he played this game wrong to survive.

You need to either fly under the radar or do it like orbit. Like that guy that is vlogger or something is playing the game smart.

Being smart and figuring out stuff is different then getting all narrative pieces together perfectly for great timing to fit in episodes cliffhangers.

It's all just 2 nice fitting together compared to randomly solving it in some mid episode and getting in prison with random person with non dramatic smart way.

They did the same thing in s2 with one of the guys stopping and moving on. It was obviously directed for them to do that for the viewers.

Prob because no one is actually together.

Ain't no way all that lead up to prison and puzzle align was not scripted with both members who worked together being in prison and solving it in ep9.

You completely missed my point..

There are people who are rich and kleptomaniacs in real life. It's kinda like that and she prob doesn't wanna be dependent on daughters willingness to give her money. Having ton of money even if obtained in scummy way gives her feeling of security and independence.

They are really trying hard to make 8 episode material into 16 🤣

They didn't know who has the power. Most people died and the scene we were shown were just of relevant characters with power. They killed a lot of people trying to find the ones with power which means they also potentially killed some people with powers that wouldn't be helpful in surviving the fall.

You wrote a whole book with 3 and 5 being copy pasted twice 🤣

They just realised their hidden potential. They already had it but jump made the instincts to kick in and accelerate/ bring out the power.

Well I ment more like her excitement and intensity when it comes to basketball compared to other stuff.

I didn't give her tickets when I proposed and I had no idea giving gifts was a thing but if I gave her tickets she would prob look at them longer then the ring.

In our family we follow all kind of sports and I used to play football in 2nd league but basically everyone in eu played and follow football in above average capacity 🤣

My wife is basically the same but basketball.

How many long shots do you want director ? - Yes
