I watched that one too. I give the first season 6.5/10. 1.5 because of the cliffhanger in the last scene alone.
Otherwise it was a series where I was always waiting for the wow effect - but it never came.
But it wasn't necessarily bad either, it was so interesting from episode to episode that I always wanted to know what would happen next.

What bothered me the most was the lack of emotion. Hello, the apocalypse is imminent, snow in summer is killing everyone outside,
we take a nap and make a cup of tea because the gas stove is still working. And nobody really goes crazy.
No, somehow it didn't fit.
The plot twist with the "soldiers" was great again - it entertained me.

When a second season comes (it's been announced) they should work on the emotion. The basics for a proper second season are there.



I'm starting "Bet" on Netflix today. It's the live-action adaptation of Kakegurui - the anime that's all about gambling.
A school that doesn't teach math, English or German, but gambling.

Instead of coming from Japan, the live-action adaptation is now coming from the USA. But the trailer triggered me and gave me the right Kakegurui vibes.

I'm curious.

The ending already had a wow effect for me. I also thought that some people went crazy who were normal before and then became increasingly strange. I agree with you about the somewhat sluggish build-up of tension in the first episode. Everything is crashing outside and the men are playing cards, wondering about the capricious weather and the women are brewing tea. But I found plenty of emotion. I like it when the tension builds up so slowly and you have time to get to know the protagonists better. I'm definitely looking forward to season 2. There's certainly room for improvement.
