I get the poor reviews, it wasn't perfect, but there was something about its off kilter atmosphere that kept me hooked. Yes it was overly and unnecessarily sweary, yes there were a few well dodgy moments, but I loved the 80s clothing, the dated interiors and vehicles, it all gave a feeling of the inhabitants being trapped in a place untouched by the outside world, a place that could fall victim to some strange Squid Game type plot and fiendish organisation. I was frustrated by the lack of explanation of what was going on in the woods, and the woman with the chemistry set in an empty lab in the bread factory was totally ridiculous, but I liked the oddness of it and the plot. I didn't expect the ending and to be honest was a bit disappointed- but I would watch another series as I'm genuinely intrigued....lots of unanswered questions.....are they ALL in on it? Is the chief of police part of it, talking about 'light' and obsessed with prioritising trivial mischief over real crime? Do all the women know they're making numbered jumpsuits for games contestants? Was Nina Clare or was Clare Nina? Who /what were the 2 points attributed to Mehmet on the scoreboard? Who was the big guy we kept seeing, who came into his own at the end? Is there a creature?...... there HAS to be with all the dead animals and then the group sent to recapture it - but what were the bread men doing moving it about in a truck?......pfffft maybe TOO many loose ends left, now I think about it.
