Oh my God! Finally! Some stakes! Jesus!
I still don't think that 1. Harrow's parents' deaths make any sense
2. Gideon and Harrow's relationship makes any sense.
But at least they're trying to make things matter.

Still bored. The whole mystery house/battle royale element simply isn't interesting and I can't find it in myself to care about rich white children.

I'm really not feeling this. I'm going to finish it because it's such a hit but there's so much redundancy in the exposition, and none of the delight i would hope for in something that's clearly got elements of mystery but doesn't lean into them sufficiently. I think a lot of the frustration comes from that fact that there are no interesting stakes and the world is not sufficiently realized to supply them.
