1x05 Episode 5

Finding the beach by spying on other players was pretty smart. However, they just run, chasing cars, alone in the middle of the street and without being seen ?

There are a loooot of people at the beach. It's a nice concept, so pretty common for a post apocalyptic world. But here I'm not sure how that is possible. You convince what looks like one or two hundred people to all play so only one can escape ? (Also pretty sure that claim is bullshit).
The pseudo rules are also weird. OK for the cards, that's the foundation of it. But the beachwear, ok for the concept, but to make it impossible to hide weapons ? Maybe for women but most men seems to have pockets,and sweaters, and a lot of places to hide weapons. There are also a militia with guns, so... And death to traitors, well, membership does not look to be optional,so to traitors might not be the right word. Anyway, I suppose a lot of the people there have already abandoned and just want to enjoy the days they have left.

I would have hoped for a little more organization though. At least some knowledge gathering department. With the number of people they have, there must be a lot of games and a lot of cards, and they say they have double. So:
Does the same card always appear in the same game ?
Does the same game or card always appear at the same place and/or time ?
Shouldn't they document what all the games are, and debrief people after each ?

The peek at different game was cool, the activists guys are clearly crazy but great fighters. Arisu's game was pretty disappointing though. First it's pretty famous, and no one knew it ? Then the false suspense is pretty stupid there. They wait for 10 minutes, and he never explains his plan and no one asks ? They just wait stupidly like this ?

Finally they found the beach, even tho I don't understand why they took so long. Shit is more lit than the eiffel tower at night. But why did they have this big ass gathering and speech before the games. I mean doesn't they have to play every day..? And why are they taking them in so easly when this is supposed to be a secret community, and even offering Arisu a executive seat, I really don't see why he deserves it.. Again alot of whys.. I'm not yet convinced that the solution is to have all cards, but surely it will lead to somewhere.. But in this regard, shouldn't they have already multiple decks of cards - besides the ones which never appeared - I mean they have like 24 teams every night, so this doesn't make sense to me.. The hunting the animals game wasn't much fun, turning wild cats into jokes, and we had already the panther in the awful 4th episode. Killing the eagle should have highest point shouldn't it, I mean shoting one of these at night must be quite a challenge, on top of it theres no sniper..

So far every episode has it flaws and I can't say I'm over enjoying this. But it's ok the premise still works and we have a new big setup for the final phase of the first season.
