LOL All the reality TV tropes are here, even in prison:
The overall experiment itself was somewhat interesting, and there are serious moments in the show. However, I don't think I have absorbed any serious message. It's the prison drama that kept me watching.
- Classic "you disrespect me!" drama. Also, "How dare you talk to me like that?!" drama
- Inmates are introduced with close-up footage, multiple angle cuts, posing, lens flare, and dramatic music. Like, hello, these people committed CRIME lol
- Various things were smashed. Many angry hands movement
- Inmates having confessional-style reality TV talk to the camera as if they're Kardashians.
