Here is the TV-show I've been waiting for. I didn't know that I was waiting for it of course, but I could not stop watching it, and there were many reasons to why not.
1. The acting is superb. 2. The characters are well thought out, each character gets his or hers own personality, quickly, with what feels like no effort at all. 3. The story-line. Oh wow. A world dying, poverty, hunger and greed. Criminal activities and children being left to fend for themselves. And of course, a group of revolutionaries. Love it. And then we have the process. At your 20th year, you get to try out for becoming one of the 3% of the year, who will get to go to an island of luxury and safety. The process is made so that there will be justice done for all. Everything is measured and directed to perfection. The technology makes sure that everything about each individual is known. The tests are extensive and utterly scary. And everything is filmed and processed under loop. Some tests are individual and some tests are in groups. People are being killed by the others in the groups and some people are even the revolutionaries who've got themselves infiltrating the process. The story is nothing less than brilliant.
4. We've got the godlike entity of the boss of the process. We have the underdogs, which are the 20-year olds, trying to change their lives for the better, without knowing a thing about the place they're trying to get to.
5. There are so many surprises in this TV-series, and I hope that everybody sees it.
That's all from me.
