The security around keeping the whole secret is way off. This is their biggest priority, and they know it. Yet the children can just walk where they are not supposed to go, and discover it.
The technological measures do not match up, and they absolutely can have sensors that make conspiring and/or escaping much harder.
The children are too competent. Well, we can forgive this one, but it really takes things too far; e.g., one child has learned to make a device from scraps of other devices to disable their GPS tracker without sounding the alarm. Seriously?
The children are way too selfless. This gets worse and worse, ultimately ruining the second season. This still would have been okay if the characters paid the consequences for their selfless choices, but no, they get to have their cake and eat it, too. (I guess the average viewer loves to see self-sacrifice while hating “losers”.)
The escape would have ultimately failed in (anime) canon if not for some obvious author insertions. They encountered a rescuer randomly at just the right time. They also magically found some pen that had all kinds of information on empty bases and such in it.
All in all, the first season is a good show, but it will definitely further harm your priors than help them.
It is also pretty unbelievable. (Spoilers ahead.)
