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.

The show is certainly not perfect, but as a fan of "Escape the Night," I found this show, which has a very similar set-up (Occasional confessions, a death nearly each episode, mostly improvised, challenges to complete), pretty good. The murders are compelling to watch, especially in the sixth episode. I admire them giving some new people a chance to shine, but I think the show would've had more appeal had they had some star power. I honestly knew who none of these people were. A lot of red herrings, one thing would be presented but that might not have been what actually killed them. The show does have some plotholes, such as during certain killings how the killer could be in two places at once. Lots of morbid puns. Take it for what it's worth. It's not completely bad, but it doesn't achieve even close to perfection. If you're a fan of "Escape the Night," or any show that's similar, this might be good for you to give a view.

I couldn't get 5 minutes in before I was absolutely disgusted by it. First off they rely on the same stereotype of autism that we have seen for years; the white, cis, straight male who's highly dependent on neurotypicals, apathetic, seemingly emotionless, awkward, etc,. Basically Sheldon Cooper. Second, they rely on his autistic traits for pretty much all of the comedy. Third they treat autistic people as burdens on society. This is not the representation autistic people want or need. The sooner this show is replaced with a more accurate representation, the better.
