IMPRESSION: Netflix's Clickbait (First two episodes)
SYNOPSIS
So Netflix's Clickbait is an 8 episode CSI drama series about solving the mystery of how or who kidnapped Nick when his sister, Pia, discovers that his brother got kidnapped and viraled in a video with him showing a sign he will die in 5 million views, he abuses women etc. Knowing his brother's real behaviour, Pia sensed that something is wrong and immediately tried to get help finding his brother. It is now up to her and the people around her to solve the mystery and finding Nick's whereabouts.
IMPRESSIONS
With the first two episodes I've watched so far, I can say that it got me invested as how it keeps me thinking and got me curious, how and what is the motive Nick got captured in the first place. First episode gave an impression that he is a nice guy and the sign he is holding on the video does not really reflect him at all. Although this is a CSI drama we are talking about so who knows? We might get the real answer reveal as we progress through the series.
Then another thing I would like to point out is that , even though it has only been two episodes, I noticed that the titles of each of the episodes suggests that the character focus in the narrative will change one episode from another. For instance, the first episode focuses on Pia's perspective, the sister of the victim then the next episode changes to another character perspective which is a detective who is involve with the investigation. The change in character's focus and perspective allows me to see and be familiar with that character's background story and certain agendas that they need to achieve. This change in character focus I think is not a bad thing as well since the plot still progresses on.
CONCLUSION
For those who loves CSI type of drama, I definitely recommend you guys to check this one out. And if you've already watched the whole thing, please don't spoil lol. Let me get that whole experience of suspense and shocking reveal by myself. Guess that is it for now, I'll continue on this review if I've already watched the whole series.
