The last few kids to be chosen have also offered a bit of optimism to the proceedings, which has made it a bit lighter in tone. I'm still sticking with it though. @Peter S: Yeah, I’m detecting a slowdown in pace, which is often the case with the mid-section of series of this length.

Really, plotwise, we're in a holding pattern until the authorities or dung beetle give out more information. Plot development usually means boredom. But, to compensate, we have the stories of the kids as they face their doom. Great stuff, but ... As much as I like these individual stories, they're beginning to wear thin. I'm losing the compelling mix of tragedy and cruelty that sparked the early episodes, when the horror of their situation became manifest. Maybe that's gone for good. If so, I want the background story to move onto the next thing. Many eps to go. This show hasn't disappointed yet. I have hope! Interesting structure to this show.
