Playtest (S03E02)

As a horror fan, it pains me that the most horror episode of the new season is the one that have to rate as the weakest of this six-pack. The idea is alright, a bit like Inception, but with virtual reality instead of dreams. The atmosphere is also good. The climax is nice, too, with good black humour on top. But why the hell did the main character have to be such an insufferable person? His unnatural and hysterical behaviour within the game permanently ruined the impression of an otherwise well-made episode. (23/10/2016)

Again, a great episode. This time a horror film that simply makes fun of some of the genre clichés but uses another part very cleverly to give the main character (not meant to be likeable, just responding to some of the comments here) a good beating. And the viewer, if possible, too. (01/05/2020)

Straight into oblivion. Paranoia² or facing the depths of madness through play psychotherapy. Excellently constructed, it's just a shame about the slower pace and the main character who is too much of a typecast American Joe to be likeable in the way that this type of story demands. (01/11/2016)

The twist wasn't the fear of spiders or Alzheimer's, nor was it the terror of being reunited with mother. The twist is that you're supposed to turn your phone off when they fucking ask you to! (17/03/2021)
