I did enjoy watching it. Unfortunately, the character is wildly more intriguing than the situations the writers keep putting him in.

I did like the pairing with Alice in series 1. Wish that would have carried on into later series more.

Also didn't understand the passion to stop the vigilante in series 3. I understand it's his job, but why so serious? Dude was just taking out the trash. Once again, I get that it's against the law, and he's a criminal; just criticizing the hatred Luther had for him.

That's already more than I wanted to say, so I should be good by the end of this sentence. Almost.

I'll take "now that's what I call acting" for 100, Alex.

1-dimensional characters with side plots i don't care about trying to work together to solve puzzles. Some puzzles were kinda neat. Most were "how did you get there in one try with that logic?"

I didn't mind that it took a long time to get to the first kill (after prologue); I actually thought the choice to wait gave it ambiguous tension about whether or not it would even *be* that type of film. This fact doesn't save the plot or story for me, however.

Moving on. Ending was terrible. How did the room-builder know that only Tyler would be in the last room? How did he know Tyler would be in that room at all? The button said "save him". How do you write this story and Christen is not the villain? You mean she didn't set this up because she knew Tyler cheated on her with Natasha? No? We're going with 'she let the wrong dialogue slip out at a fancy sex party that happened off-screen and has nothing to do with our story'?

Favorite part of the film has to be when Christen states that she looked for them on the internet and there's nothing, but then the invitation is a F@&+ING WEBSITE.

Nothing further; watch at own peril.

I really enjoyed the first two acts of this film. Slow burns are the best. I just don't understand why that ending. The father is the bad guy, then the good guy for a second, then the bad guy again? I don't know; really weird way to end a very well setup story. Still would probably watch again though.

So i won't rate it unrealistically, but for some reason I really enjoy watching it. There's just something that works. It's not a "so bad it's good" situation either. The acting isn't great, the writing isn't great. It's like it latches on to that suspension of disbelief that only true survivor-like shows can really ask for, and then let's you enjoy it *through* the bad acting and writing because, just like the other shows, you know it isn't real.

Not the best explanation, I know, but that's what I got. If I knew why I liked this show so much, I'd be able to explain it better.
