The show slowly ramps up to a steady mid level of tension, then plateaus until the end where that level just completely tanks.

Without giving spoilers, if you enjoy things wrapping up nicely, with solid writing, few loose ends (or at least loose ends with meaning), a sense of meaning for all the tension you held throughout your viewing, and a sense of rationale/logical conclusions for why things came to be or why certain elements were included... you're in for disappointment.

On top of this, the three big bad monsters that come for people, look like Grimaces with more defined limbs and covered in tar. They're neither intimidating in look, nor do their visuals connect to the imagery one would conjure up when thinking of "hell". Additionally, they're design, animation, and compositing appears amateurish and rushed. The characters are frustrating at best. Their introductions tend to be forced/rushed, their motives and struggles generic, and their resolve disappointingly anticlimactic. Enough time was already thrown away watching this slow car crash of a series and writing this much about said car crash, so in conclusion, this series could have easily been turned around with more competent writers and designers/animators. For now it's not worth wasting away your time and energy to consume this poor attempt of a project, especially when considering that the "creators" seem to have put in the bare minimum effort into this production.

Massively overhyped nonsense. CGI is fairly poor quality. Storyline isn't great and the characters aren't very engaging. I wouldn't recommend this, and certainly wouldn't compare it to squid game!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was looking forward to seeing this. I made it partway through Episode 3. I was OK with the monsters eviscerating a seemingly innocent mother of 2. The incineration of a man while he was still alive, with the accompanying thrashing around in the oven's window was pretty disturbing. But when they pulled a character's 67 year old terminally ill mother from a van and beat her to death with baseball bats while her daughter watched, I had enough. I watched Squid Game and that it was thought-provoking, even when it was violent. This went way beyond that and I would recommend that people stay away. Expand

Один из самых тупых сериалов. Никаких объяснений, одна глупость героев, сюжета и абсолютно неинтересные персонажи.
