Confie em Mim

Not sure why so many people are saying there's no subtitles when the text messages are shown. I could clearly understand the text messages because I had subtitles on my screen. Maybe all the people saying they couldn't understand because they had no subtitles when the texts were shown should turn on the subtitles on their TV. Stop giving the show bad ratings just because you have no clue how to work your own TV.

"Hold Tight" starts promisingly, but soon slows to a crawl and the story doesn't seem to advance for at least 2-3 episodes (out of only 6). It also has an unwelcome emphasis on women getting kidnapped, beaten, murdered, and in general victimized. There are a couple of interesting twists near the very end, but it may be another case of "too little, too late". Well-acted by all, but a disappointment in comparison to other recent Harlan Coben series, including the also Polish "The Woods" (with which it shares two characters). 6/10 on the whole.

The plot is intriguing but there is a lot of incompetence in this show which makes it a bit frustrating. Plot holes and unrelated story lines as well. I wish I could rate it higher.

A thriller that lacks the wild twists and turns, for the most part its predictable and anticlimactic. The middle four episodes are filler and delay tactics. Acting is decent.

This six part Polish series, based on the book by Harlan Coben, is set some months after a young man died of an apparent drug overdose. His mother blames his friend Adam. Adam's parent suspect something is wrong with him and his friends are pressuring him not to talk about something... then he disappears. Meanwhile a pair of kidnappers, a man and a woman, are snatching women off the streets.

I thought this was a solid thriller series. As one would expect in a story by Harlan Coben there are some nice twists before we learn just what has happened. There is plenty of tension, especially in scenes involving the kidnappers; the man is particularly unpleasant. The setting is impressive with the parents' homes in a modern, wealthy neighbourhood contrasting with the rundown areas where their children go to hang out. The acting is pretty solid throughout. Overall I'd recommend this to fans of previous adaptations of Haran Coben's books.

These comments are based on watching the series in Polish with English subtitles.
