Hold Tight

"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.

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.

Yet another modern day drama where insolent teenagers have the upper hand. What ever happened to parenting and discipline ? The parents of Kaja were just wet lettuces, she was never reprimanded or questioned once about her behaviour, they just sat looking at her as she flounced upstairs ! As for Adam's parents - they were the ones who needed therapy, from HIM ! What a pain.

The story was too long, too drawn out, and with lots of fast forwarding I cut down the episodes from 49 minutes to around 30, so got through it much quicker. Thankfully.

As for the translation issues. I NEVER do dubbing, with subtitles at least you hear the actors voices instead of some American doing the overvoicing while sat in a studio watching the film.

The number of low scores tells me that either 1) the reviewers are unable to follow films with subtitles, or 2) they watched the dubbed version. Both speak to the value of those same reviewers' opinions. This is not perfect, but it IS very well written, filmed, directed, and acted. It's also, virtually, the perfect length at six episodes. Watch it!

I mean it is watchable. Just don't expect anything new. Also don't rly understand why that one man was chosen to act as a teenager, he looks rly out of place with beard and everything. He looked more like 30 year old than a 16yr old.
