Delete: Thai Horror/SF series about a phone camera which makes people disappear. Sounds useful but there may be complications if love triangles are involved and maybe not all disappearances are due to deletions. A bit of soap is involved with standard school bullying. Perhaps one subplot too many but the tension is maintained. The horror is more of a psychological nature as this device literally invokes existential terror for both the users and potential victims. Secrets both mundane and mondo are revealed as the narrative unfolds. This is a dark tale.

Directed and Co-Written by Parkpoom Wongpoom. Eight episodes on Netflix. 8/10.

I wasn't too interested when this popped up on my Netflix but I decided to give it a go. Once you get more into the story, things become more interesting. Actors are good the story is pretty intriguing, I can say I actually liked it and wanted to find out more. I'm not sure what I expected in the end, maybe a happy ending or some sort of explanation where this mysterious phone came from.

Anyway, you wait for it and then it comes the ending. What.. did.. just.. happen? Maybe you think you missed something during the series, possibly you fell asleep? It is absolutely non-sensical, there is no explanation at all.

I was riveted from the first episode and had no idea the plot would be this twisty. Feels just like a black mirror episode drawn out and full of surprises that feel tragically inevitable. There are just a few tiny continuity flaws, but I was floored how much the suspense hooked me. I love seeing scenes replayed from other characters' perspectives. These angles show flaws and virtues of every character, making for complex writing. It's another fantastic telling of Crime and Punishment, just that every character is a criminal. I watched with the original Thai and subtitles to preserve the actors' performances.

So addictive. Great series. Season 2 has to come soon please!!!! I'm hanging on a thread. I had no idea what to expect when I started watching. The twists were so well placed. So many surprises. Definitely a must see. Great acting and writing. More please!!!! I love foreign content. I'm in Canada and tired of the North American genré. Really fresh storyline. I'm really trying to not give any spoilers, but you'll be hooked. I binged it way too fast.

The suspense at the end was so great but then it's done. I need to know what happens. !!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't see anything about another season. My fingers are crossed.

I've been reviewing for a good decade now, and I have been only disappointed by US series that adopt the 'lost' model, you know, where nothing happens but a new red herring is revealed to keep you going at the end of each episode.

Here, the series defies all Thai standards, and displays a bunch of flawed individuals instead of the usual good vs bad. Everyone is a bit of a POS, and it's really great to watch the outcome of all the mayhem. Stuff actually HAPPENS in each episode, believe it or not:)

Sure, it's not high art either, but Nopachai Chaiyanam (the cop) is absolutely brilliant in his role - he could have played the T1000 in T2 and pull it off. Cold as ice. Genuinely happy I discovered him in this show!
