Anybody start watching it? It is now the most popular show of all time on Netflix. I am a few episodes in and it's crazy!

Maybe for a month we can use spoiler tags if theres something that might give something away?

Yeah, we saw it on the top 10 last weekend & started watching. Very crazy. Some parts are kind of funny since it's obviously translated, not always very smoothly.

Still have a few episodes, I think.

I won't watch dubbed. Can't stand it. If there is a subtitled version maybe I'll try it.

For whatever it's worth, I read a review that said the dubbing was very well done and not clumsy as some shows are. I haven't watched it yet so I can't verify whether that's true.

This show does it better than most at least. I went back and forth a couple times on the subs or dubs and since it’s such a visually appealing show and cinematography that I went with dubs so I was reading less. I always use subs because of my hearing loss but I don’t always read

The preview left me with an MST feel. So, some of you think its worth watching? For reference, what else have you watched?
The preview left me with a hard no.

You got Mystery Science Theater out of that?

I guess I would compare it to like a cross between black mirror and hunger games (or actually Battle Royale if you know what that is).

I wasn't a big watcher of that either, maybe just the 'really, is this intentionally dumb?' part
FWIW I made it only 60 seconds into the trailer and mostly what I got was the stupid looking masks, a bunch of confused people and dubbed poorly written dialog. Apparently it gets better!

This show is all my middle schoolers can talk about this week. Even had one let everyone else know they'd have no problem killing everyone else in a game if the price is right.

For the record, great ******* show. Even with the dubs.
