Intense & brilliant.
This survival drama was engaging and full of surprises. It reminds me of Battle Royale. It's brutal and heart breaking. Great storytelling, love the characters and the suspense. It kept me at the edge of my seat a lot of times. Before the Netflix series, I've never heard of the title, but since then I looked up the manga, gave it a read, and absolutely loved it. I think the drama has done really well.Regarding my score for rewatch value, I almost never re-watch anything, same goes with this one.

Predictable and lost me at the pro-LGBT flashback
3 dudes "isekai" into The Cube... which was a cheap Canadian film from around 20 years ago.Oh no, wait, it's not, The Cube, it's kind of like a cross between Squid Game and that manga where they "isekai" onto rooftops and have to survive.
Okay, so that manga for this was before Squid Game... but many will call it, "Japanese Squid Game" anyway, I'm sure.
So yeah, the 3 dudes take part in games or they'll die, but being in the games means they're most likely to die regardless - it's all kind of pointless but mildly entertaining until it becomes the eventual, Lord of the Flies, that all these kind of things morph into (I mean: COME ON! The Beach was a CRAP BOOK and even worse film, and a total rip off of Lord of the Flies, but then this crap even has a resort everyone stays in that's called, The Beach?!).
And then I dumped it because it offended the Hell out of me that I'm supposed to believe the hottest girl in the whole programme is a "trap" (lady-boy/gender-bender/she-male/faggobot - whatever you want to call them)?
Men in dresses are NOT cool! They certainly don't look like XXX (I won't spoil it by revealing the actress) and Netflix seriously needs to lose its LGBT agenda, which - along with the Cuties fiasco - is the reason they lost almost 50% of their US customers in the first place!
