Watched the first episode because of the 9.3 rating. I've never heard of the comp game so judged the tv series on it's own merit. I've watched two episodes so far and just can't see 9.3, it's not ground breaking or novel in any way and I think the rating is way ott. It's quite predictable and expected in many ways and the acting isn't brilliant, just average. I'll keep watching and hopefully it will improve, as a TV series it has to stand by itself and not rely on adaptations or original format. I'm confused why so many people think it's brilliant with great character development. It's average, IMHO.
