I believed the final reveal was that even Kor was a layer of rehearsal. It's hard to reconcile that after the second episode, but that was my original conclusion after the first.

I'm not sure how to put it exactly, but I think people are being asked to ad lib scenarios while not knowing the full plan, people who aren't natural actors or improvisers, so it will always seem awkward and stilted. That this is a layer upon the other layers for something that hasn't actually happened.

It felt really odd to me how easily he let the people into his home without question. The chair that Nathan sits in with the real Kor is different despite prior fully mapping out the place, yet it still had the same cow-print. The chair Nathan sits in with the real Kor would be less expensive than the one he had in the first layer of rehearsing.

My mind might have climbed up the wrong tree after the first episode, and I'm eager to see what happens. I hope someone can understand what I've meant because I don't have anyone else to talk to this show about!
