Light story, good vibes with its quirkness, I watch until the end of episodes and like it. The costums, desain, light are really inspiring. It is another level of Japanese cinematography. I think another Japan drama should wear this color more with different genre. For me, it reminds me when I watched Why woman kill directed by Lucy Liu, but with different characteristics of cast.

It's difficult to write a review about something you passionately wanted to be great, but just isn't.

Moreover, living in Tokyo and working in the entertainment industry means that I was well aware of the rumors of an absentee director leaving the bulk of the shoot to her staff. Stories of technical problems and entire episode worth of content left on the cutting room floor also make it difficult to write an unbiased review.

Putting that aside, characters who are inconsistent and difficult to root for are what truly made me dislike this series.

I had very high hopes for "Followers" as Japanese serialized entertainment deserves to have a place in the on demand era. As the above reviewer mentioned, this is, for better or worse, just another example of the current generation of Japanese entertainment. Slightly tone deaf, completely unrealistic, and a bit painful to watch.

If the rumors about this production are true, this director would do well next time to do the work herself instead of just color grading and picking pretty clothing for her clearly confused cast to wear.

5 points for a cast that is clearly trying to entertain us.

Here's hoping they restore that extra episode worth of footage down the line.

I've seen half negative and half positive reviews on this show. I finished it in about two days. I love Japanese and Korean dramas, and though this one doesn't have a direct plot (as it focuses on many characters that are all intertwined some way or another), I found it to be compelling by the individual stories of each person. I loved the quirkiness, the stunning colours, and the emotions portrayed within each individual. We all know that the entertainment industry can be a sticky mess, and I believe "Followers" gave us an insight of how not just Japanese, but all entertainment industries can truly be. Don't be fooled by the negative reviews! A film or show can only be understood by the viewer. It could be for you, or it could not! I gave it a 9/10 because it intrigued me and kept me watching.

Except the marvelous costumes, harajuku style vibe, the plot is so so. I watched it until. The end because it was aesthetically pleasing, but the plot could be better.

Perfect wardrobe, great scenes, good music choice and nice script. Life of fenomens doesn't look like easy. For me it is different and really worth watching show.
