When I saw this advertised it looked like something I would enjoy. After watching the first episode I was hooked. I do agree with the review about the randomizer not being so random, but it was still exciting to watch. I enjoyed the categories that were selected by the players seeing things like Brunch and Bugs was unexpected.
I became more interested as the episodes progressed and the players began expanding their territories. Then we came to the end of episode 3 and there were 58 players of the original 81 still left on the floor. I began watching episode 4 and thought I missed something so went back to re-watch 3. No, I was not mistaken, as 4 began they only had 24 players on the board and the territories where now dominated by players who we never saw play. This was such a disappointment as part of the fun of watching the show was getting to know the players as they won and lost their spaces.
I had hope for this show but was very disappointed.
UPDATE:
I was watching on HULU and after going back toward the end of the season they updated the episodes and 4 is actually showing what was originally missing.
