Escape the Night

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.

What can I say about this apart from, "this is why youtubers should never be able to make a TV show. EVER." The costumes, furniture, landscape, and accents ruin the theme, not to mention that all the characters are based on stereotypes, and I find them all horribly annoying. (note that I've only watched one episode, but felt I needed to write this)

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

Here's the thing: I've only seen one episode, because I saw it was 1920s-themed and I absolutely 1920s-themed things, and it's kind of a murder mystery, so that seemed fun. But. This isn't really a show I would continue watching. If it was scripted, had a reasonable plot, and the actors all stayed in character, this would be sooooo much more fun to watch. I mean, come on - the period fashion, the house, it could all be remarkably well-done if each character was scripted with lines that resembled the lingo they used in the 20s. But in the first episode, one of the "actors" says, "we're YouTubers, not mathematicians," and that was where I kind of lost the joy of watching it. Ditch the whole "we traveled back in time from 2016" theme, give them all a script, add a plot, make sure they stay in character, and you've got yourself a show I would watch in a heartbeat.

Extremely cringe worthy.

While some would argue that the nature of unscripted shows is to give the actors more creative freedom and genuine reactions often times it comes across as larping being taken too seriously. Furthermore, the roles that were given to each character (acknowledging the fact that it was simply done for comedic purposes) do not match characters. This becomes more apparent when specific actors will take their roles very seriously and with a combination of clunky dialogue it leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. The whole time I watched it, I cringed. Fans of the creators may like it but, its not my cup of tea.
