The Genius Prince’s Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt : Episode 5

Current Episode Score: 6

I have decided I have mixed feelings for this show. Two issues are making me drop the score a bit; it feels kinda rushed, and there is no challenge.

Each of these arcs are solved in 2 episodes which just is not enough time to develop anything at all. You get one episode of set-up, and than it is complete. You don’t have enough time to build anything that will be happening, or the people involved, or the plans. I just feel like I’m missing a bunch of extra context with how short these arcs are.

The other issue is that lack of challenge. Wein hasn’t had a single challenge yet, everything is already planned and solved. But not necessarily because is actually all that genius, but instead the opponent just is dumb. I was hoping to see more scheming and planning to somehow always win.
