I think they’re basically satirizing “reality” shows which most people realize are heavily stage managed. But a lot of these “reality” shows are already a parody of themselves whether they realize it or not.
When the first episode ended with a fatality and the remaining contestants were given the choice to continue or not, I knew that a new low had been reached.
I’m sort of half watching it (meaning that I’m doing something else simultaneously and minimally paying attention) because I want to see how far they will go with this.
But if it went off the air next week due to low ratings I wouldn’t miss it :)
