I think this has just come out on Netflix, initial reviews seem rather encouraging? Like many I figured it wouldn't work, but I'll def give it a go based on this:

There's a twisted sense of joy when certain contestants get eliminated.

Its an interesting experiment into human behaviour.

When one contestant won a Cheese burger, the group turned feral.

Just watched the first 10 mins.
That'll do. Fake, scripted nonsense with a bunch of actors I really couldn't give a monkey's about.
Those terrible ink pop-pops? Should have called it squib game.

Just started watching. I’m not sure Americans have the emotional capacity for this ha ha, they seem to make up the bulk of players, but they’ll eat each other alive for money.

Also, I’m sure I’ve seen Paul Calf! 222 is Paul Calf.

Exactly the conclusion I came to. Shame, because I thought it might be OK. It's just your usual scripted first exposure to TV wannabe actor nonsense.
