The Guardian newspaper calls it patronising, among other things. I thought the narrative kept as grounded as spectators.
This show has parallels to The Hunger Games, except it's very real. I did feel bad for the unwitting participants but I also found it fascinating constantly telling myself I would have acted sooner to end it all.
The thing is, unless you're in that situation you'll never know.
Ethically it's certainly questionable and by watching it are we ironically the very thing the show is telling us not to be.
