This isn't a show, it's a movie that no one was willing to distribute so Quibi purchased it for the original content. Then Quibi took a 2-hour movie and chopped it into 15, 7-8 minute "episodes", releasing 1 "episode" each weekday for 3 weeks. If I sound annoyed about spending 3 weeks to watch a mediocre movie then you're more perceptive than the people at Quibi.
Movies and tv shows are typically written in 3 acts. A 30-minute show is actually 22-minutes of content after you remove the commercials, so divided by 3, each act is about 7-minutes. This format can work for tv.
Do you like watching movies 7-8 minutes at a time? Maybe it's ok if I've seen the movie before, but it's hard to remember or care about the characters and their story. 7-8 minutes is barely enough time to form any emotional connection to what's happening. I think it could work if they drop the entire "show" at once, edited into the same 7-8 minute pieces, and then allow the viewer to stop or keep going. Releasing one "episode" per weekday takes that choice away from the viewer who might actually enjoy the movie, story, acting, etc more if they were able to view it as the filmmaker intended.
All in all, the film isn't bad. It's corny (dialogue) and unoriginal (Running Man), but Waltz is awesome in everything and it's still a fun ride. Just prepare for this roller coaster to stop every 7 minutes and not start again for 24-72 hours (because weekends).
Forgetting about how you may have watched this film it was enjoyable. If you look at it as a whole film and not chopped up it was entertaining. The story has been done many times. There is so much tension and action in this film there isn't time to get bored.
Okay, I'll come straight out of the traps and say; the premise of this movie (like every "game" movie or series) is highly unrealistic.
I'll also say: it doesn't matter. Suspend your disbelief, it's a thriller.
It's well scripted, well acted, well paced. Christopher Walt is phenomenal as always. Hemsworth plays his part well, the hunters, especially Webster as the British gentleman ice pick hunter, are on point.
Put your logical brain at the door, relax, pour yourself a drink and just enjoy.

If it didn't have Hemsworth and Waltz in it, this'd be a 3.9 star rated low budget it is, the star power is making people rate it much too high. It's not just the plot holes, like wouldn't the hero plan his last day on Earth a little better, maybe scout locations, pick those with best odds of survival rather than run off at random? The biggest problem this movie has, they spent so much on the two big guns they couldn't afford decent villains so we're stuck with hopelessly cast sub par actors and to make it even worse, the villains are just bad. The icing on the cake is the Quibi format, it just kills what little cinematic pleasure there might be left. Best skipped and forgotten about.
This could possibly be the best acting performance in Liam Hemsworth career. This show is filled with action and suspense. I have enjoyed every episode so far, it might be a little slow at first, as you may be like me eager to know how this is going to occur and if he will survive. It is an interesting concept that makes you curious of what will happen next. Liam does a very good job at allowing you to build an interest and relationship with the character. The possibilities for the way this show will end is extremely interesting. There seems to still be plenty of content left and the suspense I am
sure will continue. It's a good watch, every episode brings something new.
