Would Prisoners be a good pick for a mixed group? Trying to find something that gives everyone a way into the conversation.

Tadhg, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

Prisoners is one I am weighing up. Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.

Niamh, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

For anyone considering Prisoners: Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.
