Non-Spoiler Thoughts:
The premise of Death's Game is so interesting, and the series received rave reviews for both acting and story so I went in with high expectations. I really liked the concept and the acting, but then a kid was beaten to death with a brick, so I was like maybe I should watch something else. I knew it was going to be intense since it's about a man who committed suicide and must survive one of twelve different lifetimes to avoid going to hell, but there was WAY more violence and gruesome deaths than I anticipated. Maybe I've just been too immersed in my cozy book era of late, but I thought this was going to be heartwarming. My bad. It stinks because I'm sure the story gets to the heights that everyone says it does, but I shan't. The wimp in me won.
Why I dropped:
Too gruesome
