I started to watch this one as the trailer got my attention. Something around: who knows, maybe it is watchable. Three and a half episodes later I feel disgusted and tricked. If you want just another story about how bad people can react under stress please go ahead. For me this is boring as any other cheap "psychological study" in TV series, an excuse for lack of creativity of the scenario author...
Setting seems original, but only till you get this will be all about cliche characters doing cliche things. No suspense, no mystery, not till this aforementioned three and a half episode. I am too bored and disgusted to wait further...
But there is one more thing... What I find particularly offending is what I didn't know when I started to watch this. That this is in fact another iteration of Jacek Dukaj's "The Old Axolotl"! A great piece of hard science fiction with deep story and brilliant ideas. One of the best books of the genre. What did the Netflix guys got form it though? Just the begining, turned into a flat story of repeating themes and quite unpleasant to watch... Because the emotions rules it all, "no intelligence included".
