The initial episodes are exceptionally well-done, but the series falters with subsequent installments that fail to recapture the suspense or captivating elements established at the beginning. While it might resonate deeply for viewers new to the death game genre—those who discovered it through *Squid Game*, for example—the concept didn’t particularly impress me. I've encountered more compelling and sophisticated examples of these kinds of games, intense situations, and social critiques in series like *Kaiji* and countless other battle manga; *Liar Game* stands out as the strongest among them. The first two episodes deserve a 10 and a 9 respectively. The middle episodes average around a 6. The final episode receives a 5, feeling drawn-out and unnecessarily prolonging an idea that had already run its course. My overall rating is 6.1/10.
