If you have never watched Japanese or Korean shows, you may find the start a bit slow. This is due to their attention to detail in character development. The intensity ramps up quickly and you're hooked.

A great first episode that sets us up perfectly for what is to come. It has everything; a flawed main character with clear motives, brief exposition, some unexpectedly cool visuals (the production design of the show warrants watching it alone), and a final act that is beyond shocking. I cannot imagine anyone viewing this episode and not wanting to see more, even if it's just to find out what twisted game is up next.

I did find it a little odd that no one asked what the punishment would be if they lost the games but once you wake up in a room of 100 mega-bunkbeds I suppose your mind would be a bit scrambled.

Not since Westworld S1E1 has a pilot been so engaging, shocking, and engrossing all at once.

I was invested in the characters in the first 20 mins.

I was intrigued by the world in the 20 mins that followed.

And I was absolutely floored by the final 20 mins. What an ending.

Very good start and we will see alot of interesting things between them and it have a very nice idea.
