    Suspense, mystery and a premise that grabs your attention!

    This was one great pilot, that perfectly sets up the premise of the show, while also adding a lot of mystery to keep you watching and guessing!

    I really resonated with the main character and the qctor is so delightfully over the top at times! All you want is the best for those around you, but sometimes its just not possible! You can be a good person, but just make mistakes that will affect the rest of your life!

    This the combination of an oppotunity you cant deny while also taking advantage of peoples situation and lifes!

    The last part of the episode was amazing, showing the horrors of the game! You play by the rules... or you die!

    Makes you interested wow

    An unusual start shall we say.

    Gi Hun really is down on his luck, owing money, and losing money, an opportunity pops up to make some easy cash.

    I was a little unsure after the first half an hour or so, I was somewhat bored....however, it switches up, and becomes darker, more imaginative, and actually pretty good.

    The visuals are awesome, it looks great. I hated the English voice overs, they were shocking, so I switched to original with subtitles, that made a massive difference.

    Overall, enjoying, 8/10.

    One of the best pilots of all time

    Not since Westworld S1E1 has a pilot been so engaging, shocking, and engrossing all at once.
