5 episodes in and as much as I'd like to love the show, I simply cannot overlook some issues. Let's begin (spoiler warning):
[spoiler] Why don't the players think to bring weapons especially after the first game? Or at least a Swiss Army Knife? The dude with the taser brought his and it ended up helping. Why don't the players think to bring well fitting shoes or clothes for running or moving quickly? Why did they have to hunt or live in tents? Did all the grocery stores run out of food? What about cozy beds? The people disappeared but left everything behind. Are there no ways of blocking lasers? Why did no one think to find more diesel for cars and steal one? They also want me to believe that the rush of water wasn't strong enough to break the windows of the bus? And that the guy killed the tiger with one punch? [/spoiler]
I understand that it's a fictional show but the stakes are not as high when they allow such events to happen. I'll keep watching and hopefully it becomes better.
