It is definitely overrated but the actors are good, the production quality is high enough and especially the middle episodes are very stressful and anxiety-inducing, which is the exact goal of this show. The 'lessons' are very on-the-nose but ultimately - very real. Some of the characters are very very well-written and well-acted and you wish you could be with them a bit longer than you actually are.

If you like survival-style shows, definitely watch this! at least that way you'll know what everyone else is talking about it! Especially all the memes lmao.
