Hooptober 12 | #15/34 (my list here)

Yeah, I really don't understand how this has such high ratings. The concept is cool, I'll give it that. Sadly the characters and their choices are annoying and infuriating. So much weird (and sometimes racist!) shit happens for no reason. A lot of decisions here make no god damn sense. The dialogue is awful at times.

I mean how is it that the BBC can join a live broadcast with this small Canadian town but the people in this building can't make visual contact with anyone outside?

That ending? 😂 Absolutely not.
