The depictions of warfare and classism in this first installment are brutal yet believable. Fans of Game of Thrones and Hunger Games are likely to enjoy this dystopian futuristic work.
I would have liked to see more gender roles as this is truly binary in its depictions of gender and show little to no sexuality diversity. Races are also vague and there is very little disability rep that is also vague in its depiction .
