OS VIPS (S01E07)

A good focus for another game that doesn't surpass the emotional impact of the previous one, but is at least simpler, more arcade-like and straightforward. Understandably, with some tricky situations and confrontations of individual characters. One of the few episodes where even the side story is quite OK and watchable. (29/01/2022)

Like in the game I just witnessed, this episode was a misstep. Don't get me wrong, the tension of the competition was palpable (for the players, at least), and it once again delved into the tough choices contestants make when their lives are on the line. Up to this point, my satisfaction level was riding high. But those VIP characters... what were the creators thinking? It's pretty obvious from the get-go that this is all a sick form of entertainment for bored, wealthy folks. No need to hammer it in with those over-the-top characters. The animals were annoying, adding nothing substantial and only dragging out the runtime. / Lesson learned: Always have at least two marbles. And watch out for ticks. (03/02/2022)
