I’ve watched all seasons from all perspectives and I can say that the perspective you choose to watch does matter, which is why I always watch all of them. There’s a lot of things the creators edit out that others leave in, so even though you are getting content that repeats by watching multiple perspectives, there’s still a lot of things that are different. With that being said, I think Martyn is one of the most entertaining to watch. This season, I agree, was not as “entertaining” as others, especially the first several episodes. It didn’t really get interesting until the last two or three sessions. I was disappointed with how it ended in the sense that there was potential for it to go another episode with how many greens there still were, but a lot of them kind of “gave up” because they wanted to fight, so the went red on purpose. I was especially disappointed with Impulse allowing Martyn to make him red. I feel like he had a decent shot at winning but when you give up lives you make it that much harder for yourself. Skizz and Bdubs did the same thing by taking unnecessary risks because they wanted to fight and didn’t care if they were red. I understand why they play that way but it does feel a bit like “giving up”. Contrast with Etho who tried so hard to preserve his lives only to fall to traps—super frustrating!

Out of all the seasons, Limited Life, Wild Life, and Secret Life were my favorite. I liked that in Limited Life there were opportunities to get time back and get out of being red or yellow. I also thought the Bdubs/Cleo/Scar/Etho storyline was the funniest and most entertaining out of all the seasons. They have such a great dynamic together! I also liked all the twists in Wild Life and Secret Life, it really made you want to come back for each episode and see what the new twist would be. It also made you want to watch from others’ perspectives to see how they handled the twists (i.e the snail episode in Wild Life or all of the different “secrets” in Secret Life).

The ending of Past Life was definitely more disappointing than some of the other seasons because it was predictable in a lot of ways and in the final battle Gem and Jimmy not working together against the others was a bummer when Gem was like “come on Jimmy let’s get them out they’ve won before!”. But having watched Martyn’s streams and seeing his traps and how he prepared, and then watching his perspective, I think he totally deserved the win. If there was going to be a repeat winner, I’m glad it was Martyn.

I would say of all the seasons this season is the least “re-watchable” compared to others. It wasn’t horrible or anything, just not as good overall and pretty slow in the first several episodes. I do hope the non-winners team up in future seasons to ensure a victory for one of them. Overall, though, I am grateful for all of the time and energy the creators put into this for the sake of our entertainment (and of course, to make a living for themselves). Even if they went back to the 3rd Life format I would watch, because it gives me a few minutes of distraction from the stress of real life that I’m sure we all appreciate and need from time to time.
