This series keeps surprising me in a good way.
After the first episode being full of clichés, in particular the "if you die in the game you die for real" hook, it seemed like it was going to turn into a boss-monster-of-the-week series.
Instead it's exploring the issues of people actually living in an online world, instead of just playing there for a couple of hours a day. I'm enjoying it a lot, even though I'm having difficulty suspending my disbelief over how the players' RL bodies aren't dying from dehydration or lack of food, or not being able to log off for bathroom breaks...
