NOT CRAZY ABOUT ENDING !!
20 September 2021
I can usually spot a twist coming a mile away which is why I stopped reading mysteries. Clickbait completely surprised me. I never would've guessed the ending and I'm not convinced that's a good thing.

From the get go I had Matt pegged as the bad guy, he was shifty and definitely seemed to be hiding something. I can certainly appreciate the writers wanting viewers to think he was the bad guy but then revealing someone different. But if you're going to do that at least make it believable and not completely absurd.

Zoe Kazan looks horrible in this, I'm not sure if it's the terrible wig they had her wearing, the awful clothes, or the constant close ups of her face. The actress who played Sophie was a complete robot who changed expressions maybe once throughout all eight episodes.

Phoenix Raei (awesome name) as Detective Roshan Amiri, Camaron Engels as Ethan, and Abraham Lin as reporter Ben Park were the shining stars of the series. Kai (Jaylin Fletcher) was one of the most annoying characters I've seen in a while although I do enjoy Jaylin on Snowpiercer. Also I'm looking forward to seeing Abraham Lin in season two of The Boys.

I'm all for surprise endings but I prefer them to at least make a little bit of sense.
