Escape the Night

It does have some flaws but its a pretty enjoyable show,if ya wanna watch this show just dont have high expectations.

I liked the characters,the design

Also season 3 is the best season.

Please make season 5. i love this show. its the best murder mystery i have ever seen.

Escape The Night is a fun time, if you have the right season. At this time we only have four seasons, which may I add, are very distinct and different from one another. In this review I will go in depth into each season, in its highlights and falls.

Season One- The first season is the most dark of them all. The season follows more unknown youtubers (Shane Dawson being the most well-known) as they try to navigate a haunted house stuck in the 1920's. The cast consists of Shane Dawson, Sierra Furtado, Matt Haag, Oli White, Andreaschoice, IJustine, Glozell Green, Eva Gutowski, Joey Graceffa, Lele Pons, and Timothy Delaghetto. The deaths, while dramatized, are actually quite frightening and dark. The experience is great and you find yourself really invested in the plot, rooting and disagreeing with different characters. Overall= 9/10

Season Two- The second season is much less dark but a lot more vibrant, less focusing on the natural terror, opposed to the supernatural. This season had much bigger names (Liza Koshy being the largest). The season takes a similar approach to the first, as to being locked in a house, but now they are stuck in the Victorian Era. The cast includes Alex Wassabi, Andrea Russet, Destorm Power, Liza Koshy, Gabbie Hanna, Tyler Oakley, Tana Mongeau, LaurDIY, Jesse Wellens, and Joey Graceffa. The deaths and challenges are much less frightening, but do not underestimate it. The season was full of twists and turns and so far fetched from its predecessor. Overall= 9/10

Season Three- The third season deviates from the shows original roots. Rather than having no idea or objective, the show tells the Youtubers what is going on right from the get go. The cast is subjectively the same popularity as Season 2 (Colleen Ballinger being the largest), but it more includes beauty influencers rather than mainstream. The cast consists of Safiya Nygaard, Manny MUA, Joey Graceffa, JC Caylen, Rosanna Pansino, Guava Juice, MatPat, Nikita Dragun, Colleen Ballinger and Teala Dunn. The show tries to return to its dark roots, but the monsters are so surreal that it makes the season more/less unbearable. Overall= 5/10

Season Four- The fourth season brings back the all star challengers whos lives were lost too soon. The season has no time frame, but similar to season three, it starts with an objective, rather than a never ending cycle. The All-Stars consist of Colleen Ballinger, Alex Wassabi, IJustine, Rosanna Pansino, Gabbie Hanna, Timothy Delaghetto, Joey Graceffa, Tana Mongeau, Destorm Power, and newcomer, Bretman Rock. While the season is interesting on paper, the acting, as well as the sets and monsters leave much to be desired and it is found quite uneventful and boring. Overall= 5/10.

Escape the night has its highs and lows, but as the seasons progress it seems to lose its original dark core.

Overall= 7/10

It works fairly well as a YouTube Red show. It has a lot of star power, and there is some character arc for some of the characters, such as the sorceress in the second season. The deaths can range anywhere from meh to downright terrifying. However while it has star power, I feel it does lack some complexity. Whodunnit, which seems to be a heavy influence on this show, had a lot of complex murders, even though it did lack star power. The budget does seem to increase every season, and I do like giving them personas. I do wish, however, their personas factored into the show a bit more. If you're a fan of shows like "Whodunnit," I suggest giving this one a look. Both of them are fairly similar.

Escape The Night is the best youube original series ever! I watched every single episode in each season like 4 times and really want something new. cant wait until season 5.
