There is an imposter Among Us.OVERVIEW (SPOILERS)Aboard a spaceship, five crew members must vote to find out which one of them is actually infected with a lethal alien virus.OUR TAKEIf you were like me during 2020, and I know I was, you probably spent a lot of that year confined in your house playing Among Us, that game where you play a little chubby spaceman and work with others to find out which of the other multi colored chubby spacemen was actually an alien monster who wanted to eat you. Well, that type of game isn’t exactly new, in fact a similar game released in 2019, a year before Among Us skyrocketed in popularity. And that game is the source material for the show we’re talking about today, Gnosia. Like any game adaptation to TV or film, this has to contend with upping the character and plot in order to make up for removing the interactive aspect of a game. In this case, giving the previously featureless and nameless a design and name, Yuri, and making them the perspective character as others go over the rules, which, much like Among Us, are based on the Mafia/Werewolf wherein one or more people is deemed the enemy and several rounds are conducted to find out who it is before they kill anyone. Though for Gnosia specifically, the enemy is in fact called a Gnosia, an alien disease that spawns from an alien entity that wishes to kill all humans, as one does.And yes, I used “them” deliberately because the majority of characters in this first episode are actually non-binary! How progressive. But yeah, this episode is basically just going over the basics of the game and the scenario that Yuri will be subject to over the series. They start with five people and pick who they think is the most likely to be infected. When that first pick doesn’t reveal the culprit, they go to sleep, only to wake up with another character killed by the Gnosia, leading to a final vote between the remaining three. Yuri, who has amnesia about their previous life, meets Setsu, who seems on their side and guides them through this process, but feels like they’re hiding something. That suspicion leads to Yuri voting for Setsu as the Gnosia in the final vote, only for that to reveal that it was the remaining character, SQ. Yuri’s fate seems sealed, but prior to being voted out and put into cryostasis, Setsu gives Yuri the ability to loop time to avoid being killed, leading to everything starting from the beginning next episode. And aside from every character being overdesigned to hell, it’s an okay start, so let’s see where things go from here.
