reading some of the comments below, claiming there was not enough brutality, enough creepyness, that it was too short, it makes me feel scared about the the state of the world.. there was more than enough of these and the whole sadism in the plot just made this one of the darkest episodes of CM..

8x08 - The Wheels on the Bus

7.0

I agree with everyone else who said this episode had potential but didn't quiet make it to awesome. Even with out of the kids dying I never felt like there was much danger facing the kids. And the whole 'game' set up felt half-hearted, like it was trying to be disturbing and creepy but it never go the guts to go there.

The episode was entertaining but it had no emotional impact on me.moreless

Not too bad not too good... After some amazing episodes was slightly disappointed... Not too much of a plot... Really didn't like the implication that it was video games which made the guys become killers... Only positive was Rossi and Garcia at the end... hope it improves

After the strong message that was delivered through the Remembrance day episode i would have to say this episode was terrible, started off slow, the unsubs were quite boring and their was nothing special..
