It's not without issues (mostly technical imo, which is saying something if *I* notice them), but it is certainly worthy of a lot of the praise it has received.
Felt like a sorta pseudo-spiritual successor to Lost Odyssey.
Def my GOTY.

A fascinating and frustrating time. Great world and gameplay, and affable characters. But the story and mission structure is just so...nothing.
Enjoyed my time, but definitely missed potential. Also, let the credits run and had a stopwatch to see the length.

Danish Dream Cake, apparently, so you thank Scandinavia, and the recipe for this one. Crackin' stuff too.

A fun watch alongside Destination X (even if it probably cannibalises both a little). I think I more actively engaged with DX given the audience is also trying to work stuff out too, but I do feel the social game aspect works better in this.

Broadly enjoyed this on the whole. Main complaint is that mixing knowledge with social deduction always leaves an iffy taste when smart people are seen as just as bad as the manipulators.
Rob Brydon - despite this terrifying image - was a good host. Right person won.

Is it a puff piece? Absolutely.
Is it still a very entertaining look behind-the-scenes of wrestling? Absolutely, as evidenced by the fact I stuck it on last night intending to watch just one episode a night, and devoured all five over last night and this morning.

Aesthetically not perfect, but damn if both didn't taste great.

It's bold to try a reality show in this day and age where the premise is "These people are smart".
Personally, I thought the show was a delight to watch each week, and the right person won.
Sadly I think it's doomed for only one season by being on the wrong channel.

Alec Guinness manages to act better putting on an accent than most people ever do in their own. Matched by his sparring partner throughout most of the film, John Mills.
(Couldn't find a gif for this one, so you only get the poster!)
