In life we constantly find ourselves becoming the subject of deceit or foul play. That’s what makes us act assuming the others are likely not to play fair. The liar game agency exploits exactly that. However, given the right incentive, people can also believe one another to take collective action for the benefit of the whole. This requires someone vulnerable but selfless to step forward (Kanzaki Nao here). The duo of Akiyama & Nao complemented each other really well.

Besides lying/deceiving, this series also makes you utilize your brain. On numerous occasions, other than deceiving another person or team it seemed like there was an intelligent strategy to be discovered. This made me look forward to the next episode, the next instalment, and the finale.

The unanimous red vote in the final seemed like a win for humanity.
