An Illegal Game Thriller/Drama That Will Hook You In
17 November 2018
If you read the one liner plot about this show it doesn't do this justice, as its hard to say what to expect without giving it away. It is a clever take on a dangerous reality show 'style' game but thats not completely the best way to describe it. If I did I would give too much away. It reminded me a bit of 'The Game' with Michael Douglas in a way.

It's an illegal game, a costly entertainment, that is held once a year in an exclusive casino where only rich and powerful play.

I was hesitant to watch and didn't know what to expect but glad I did as it exceeded my expectations. First episode seemed cheesy, and it is, and there is an over the top storyline, but its got something that kept me watching and then I was caught and reeled in to watch the whole season in one go.

Definitely worth a watch and I would be interested to see how a follow up season would go as I thought the end would be obvious but the screenwriters didn't take the easy way out which I liked. Recommended
