Let me just say that I rated this an 8.0 because I just loved the games they played, well, most of them anyway. Also, a lot of the players were very interesting and entertaining to watch. I was not rooting for Eunyu from the start (I was on Team Justin when I found out he was in The Umbrella Academy, LOL) but watching her go thru all of the prison games was very impressive and found myself rooting for her to win it all.

Unfortunately, I don't think the writers/rule makers thought things through. It seemed to me that the winners of the first game ended up with a much higher chance of staying in the living quarters and reaching the finals. The main games heavily favored those with more pieces so this made it almost impossible for those in prison to improve their situation. Also, except for the hidden game, there was very little to no chance for those in prison to earn pieces. I mean, maybe they could have given them pieces after surviving their death matches? This eventually made the show quite predictable and, if I wasn't such a fan of the games, I would have dropped this somewhere around episode 4 or 5. It was also very disheartening to watch those with just a few pieces fight to win only to realize later that they don't have enough pieces to do so.

Hopefully, they improve their setup in the next season because I will still be here to watch it.
