This series is good. It’s no great work of literature, and it’s a little pulpy. But it’s good.
In fact, I’d like to see Netflix or ShowMax or someone make limit series out of it. I’d watch that.
The series is about a random woman from Johannesburg, South Africa, who gets kidnapped by a mysterious Organisation, and forced to fight to the death. As it goes on, she learns more about this Organisation and the weird traditions and games they play.
It almost reminds me of movies like Hard Target (the 90s movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme), but not really because over time, she becomes a willing participant in these games.
I think if you enjoy stories like that, you’ll like this one. Joan De La Haye has a way with words, and she’s really developing her voice and coming into her own.

This series is getting better and better! I've really enjoyed the building of Joanna's character and her self-containment. Also her strengths.
