PSA: Threatening to kill yourself if someone breaks up with you is abuse. Sure, responding with, "Go ahead, do it," isn't exactly the right call either, but I feel like they totally skipped over how manipulative Sarah was. "Nick" (even though it wasn't really Nick) was not responsible for her death. She was manipulating "him" and it's messed up. She was actually the abusive one in that relationship. I felt bad for the brother, but he needed to recognize that his sister had major issues and Nick wasn't the reason. He didn't help, but I think her story would have ended the same way no matter what happened. I've suffered with depression in my life and I'm also a suicide survivor and I did feel like Sarah was a really relatable character. She seemed very real. But, again, totally responsible for her own actions.

Tbh, I think Sarah used a fake name because of her brother. She was aware he (out of concern) was keeping tabs on her. It was shown he became very uneasy when he discovered Sarah was in a relationship again because of her severe depression and suicidal tendencies. So most likely out of fear and bad past experiences, Sarah's brother might have interfered with some of her prior relationships. Hence the fake profile.

The starting point of the story is very interesting, to be honest. I just wish they had gone for the grand reveal sooner instead of those strange twists and turns. Sometimes it's okay to solve the mystery earlier just to dive deeper into the bad guy's psyche. My favorite example of this would probably be David Fincher's "Gone Girl".

I'd argue it depends on what the story is trying to do. This show is more for the mystery and less about who the criminal is and why they did it. It's more a thing that revolves around a bad issue gone out of control rather than Gone Girl, which was to showcase how perfectly setup the situation was. Clickbait was a clear crime of passion and immediate remorse for said actions. Gone Girl was a look into the psyche of someone who set up all the stuff that led to the situation.

One thing that bothered me about the Dawn reveal was that the whole twist basically read as "childless, bitter middle-aged woman ruins man's life out of jealousy." It is strongly implied that what triggers Dawn's actions is the pitiful way Nick reacted when she said she never had children, which causes her to reflect and dwell on the state of her marriage. Coupled with the fact that she was very much ready to murder a child in the finale and the show goes full "woman is crazy because she's not a mother/lacks maternal instinct" or whatever. I don't know, that's how it read to me and it left me with a bitter taste. It would have made much more sense for Matt to be the killer, if they had presented his storyline with more nuance and not so obviously a red herring.

So, I just finished binging the show and I had a few thoughts - I liked the way they wrote grief and how the various family members deal with it in their own ways. There's no one way to respond to the traumatic shit that life can throw at you, and the fact that they show the kids cracking jokes, ragging on each other, being angry, checking out...all that shit that you never really see on shows, because the writers somehow think audiences won't relate to anything but crying and punching walls. I really loved that. I like that the police weren't hyper-focused on the family or friends, or even the wife's ex-lover. Cop shows and movies really like to do that, and while it might be realistic...it gets fucking old and tired to watch a grief-stricken family or innocent man being harrassed and interrogated by the police when every-damn-body in the audience knows they're innocent. I actually found Kai's actions at the end very believable. They were fairly clever about setting him up to have his father's impulsivity when angry, especially with it coming out of seemingly nowhere, with that scene at the school. We are prepared to believe that the older son is the one who is more likely to respond with violence, because he's got all those tropey traits common in media to that type of character. He's a loner, he plays violent video games, he seems disconnected from his family...and yet, he is actually the calm one of the two. I really enjoyed that subversion. The way they set up Kai and Nick both walking to Dawn's house and essentially stepping into the lion's den due to rash anger and lack of forethought was kind of smart, in my estimation. Certainly cleverer than I'd have expected. I agree about Ed and Dawn, though. That was...really fucking weak compared to the rest of the show. I hated how it turned out the killer was some random guy we see for about 5 minutes and whose motives are...so fucking lame. He even tries to claim he didn't mean to kill Nick...when dude deliberately hit him with a hammer...twice. For what? The whole ending just felt really bizarre...and why was Dawn trying to set Matt up by leaving the pictures on his computer, because of Tara? That is cold as hell, not really a trait they show her having at any point. Personally, I'd really have preferred they just went with Matt and let it be the guy we thought it was. The journey was interesting enough and there was a lot that could have been added to flesh out his relationship with Nick and with his victims. Hell, they even allude to interesting things by mentioning the two knew each other in the past. This could have been so good if they hadn't decided to shove in that one last, lame twist.

He had shown no hints about being an aggressive man so why would he act that way if he didnt do it? It would make more sense if he had actually been the person who killed Nick. They also let us believe that Emma had actually met Nick and slept with him because they kept giving us flashbacks of their sex scene, it doesnt make sense, I know shes delusional and unstable but theres no talk of her being so mentally unstable that she would make up a whole physical relationship and believe it 100%.

There is always the possibility that he had the app on his phone to know that his wife was cheating on him without her necessarily knowing that he knew about it. It's whole purpose seemed to be to push that he did these things and he was really with these people and cheating on his wife so that we would think that maybe he deserved what he got rather than just being a victim to a bad set of circumstances.

as you said, poor execution of a cool concept. Someone had a great idea, but no imagination or writing ability to follow through on it

It didn't keep me watching. When it went into the 'Please, sarge, let me stay on the case' cliché, I became painfully aware of the inexorable running down of the clock of my life and switched off. No regrets, and no going back. Instead, I just watched 'Brand New Cherry Flavor' a second time, and it was time well spent.

I like the background because it inspired the cat to be in some of the shots.

It kind of reminds me of this kinda creepy little thriller called Untraceable. It's about a killer who puts his victims in murder contraptions and live streams them, with the speed of the contraption tied to how many hits the website gets. As the investigation drags on, the general public starts to catch on and the kills become more and more viral. It wasn't well received, especially since it came out during the torture porn craze, but it's definitely a cut above the average torture movie

“Should cops lie about who they are on dating apps” yes it’s called “sting operations” ………. Oh you mean when they are off duty

Tried watching it, got to episode 4 before I checked out. Felt like a discount version of better shows.

The way I loved this series until the last episode is so funny. I was having a ton of fun until then and it just broke my immersion. I was a little checked out after the reporter episode because holy shit that was the worst. I honestly thought after Dawn’s terrible acting in the office with Matt’s computer and the looks she and her husband gave each other meant they were in on whatever Matt was up to with the students. I really would have rather had it as Matt or actually Nick had done it all in the end. The catfishing aspect made it really interesting for me and I was thinking that maybe Matt had done it because he was envious of Nick in some way. The fact that it was just some “sweet” little old lady in the end killed all the satisfaction I had for finishing the series. The reveal was so underwhelming for me because it reminded me so much of “Tall Hot Blonde.” The premise of “older woman dissatisfied with her life catfishes young people online and murder ensues” has been done before so I just wasn’t wowed by it at all. I think I was hoping for something more sinister/malicious.

@@ango8466 of course it would be predictable, but I prefer a predictable ending instead of one that just falls flat. I agree that Matt was an obvious suspect though. Dawn felt too far removed from the story for me. It felt like a pretty little liars reveal or the gossip girl reveal like I can understand how it was Dawn, but it just didn’t click for me. I don’t think I got enough set up to completely go with the twist. Her motive wasn’t enough for me.

The reporter episode I didn't mind. It shows how journalists can be so desperate to boost their career that they don't see the people involved in stories they report on as real, but as pawns to prop up their own careers

"Keeps you clicking next even though it's dumb" I mean Bridgerton already hit that pretty well XD

That shirt is a masterpiece

Honestly, I was hoping they'd make an episode through Kai's perspective, because if they did one for Ethan and even one for Emma, then why not Kai? I have a feeling that episode would be interesting and I also want to know why Kai actually believed the rumours about his Dad when Ethan didn't.

I'm so glad I watched this video instead of finishing the latter half of the show :/

@SunBoxesSky yeah, you don’t understand. It’s totally okay having morally grey characters, the problem is that in a lot of films/shows, the one gay character is the insufferable one who is a bad person, and we’re (lgbt people) getting very fed up of it tbh. Every other character in this show we are made to be sympathetic towards even if they did horrible things too. We are sympathetic towards sophie for cheating because she admitted it and owned up to it to Nick and called it off. We are made to be semi-sympathetic towards Simon because he was just distraught about his sister, and even let Nick go. We are even sympathetic towards Dawn, who helped to murder Nick and who was going to murder Kai because she was lonely. The only other characters who we aren’t sympathetic towards are Ed and Simon’s friend (I can’t remember his name, the dumb side character), but those are the two characters who are murderers or are very willing to murder with no remorse whatsoever. The reporter is also the only character who is the title of an episode who we are made to be infuriated by. So him being the sole lgbt rep in this show is harmful. I don’t know if i explained that well at all haha

I mean, LGBT people CAN be bad people. Just because the reporter is gay, doesn't mean he can't be sketchy and morally grey. I didn't like his character but not because he's an obnoxious gay guy- but because he mades multiple bad calls and wasn't a good person. Only showing LGBT people in favourable lights isn't good. Gay people are not immune from criticism in shows.

I binged this entire show yesterday and couldn’t understand why XD

I kept thinking that blonde girl was Gabbie Hana when it popped up on Netflix

So it's exactly what it says on the tin. I respect that.

I hit The Answer, got the answer in the first few moments and just stopped watching because it got too much to watch.

i must say that watching this show without knowing how many episodes were made it so much better, i fell for every clue since i didn't know whether i was watching the last episode or not...

Also, they let us know it wasn't Matt because Emma doesn't recognize his voice when she shows up at the makeshift memorial. I yelled at the kid not turning on his phone stuff earlier loool

I literally watched the first 7ish minutes of this, went to go marathon the show and came back! Thank you for introducing me to stuff I'd never otherwise watch/read!! Never stop these fabulous videos, I LOVE your channel, thank you

Thanks for being, talking, acting so natural/authentic. I enjoy your content because of that even more

I always watch shows via Amanda now, it’s always more interesting hearing her talk about it

My friend recommended this show and it was worth it. So many twist I couldn’t stop watching.

Was hooked right up till the end like everyone here. Big credit has to be given imo to the three lead actors (the sister, wife, and detective). They did a really phenomenal job. Also the older son was excellent too.

your shirt Bella is staring into what's left of my soul

"Oops, I accidentally... created a false reality." That shit got me! 😄😄

I really loved that each episode was a full emotional story arc for someone that we kinda knew, but didn't -know-. Even the reporter - ultimately there's a great thematic resonance between how he treats his job and how the catfish treats their victims, and it let us explore how wrong that still is, even with lesser stakes. I thought I had figured out the mystery early (but was wrong), but that didn't stop me from wanting the next emotional arc or finding out what I cared about - how does Sophie and Pia's sisterhood work out at the end! Also, the ways they handled the issues of being an observant Muslim straddling worlds or black person with white family members. I definitely would have enjoyed it less if I'd thought of it as a mystery.

Axiom's End and Truth of the Divine on the backgroud, thats amazing

Thank you Amanda for this video because I was like “mmm I want to know what happens but I don’t want to watch it” so I appreciate this. 😌

Cat!! Cat!! 6:00

I do like how nothing felt too in-your-face on this series. My problem with a lot of mystery series like this is the clues, or even details really, being practically shoved in your face. Biggest example would be the cop being out of a relationship and having a kid, and for a series ALL about cheating, it was nice to see the Pia not just flip her shit on the guy, but it turns out that it was all just a misunderstanding, but you need the scene of her being mad at him, yaddayaddayadda.... I feel like a lot of shows would have gone down that road. Glad this didn't. I will say, they really did Scooby-Doo this one with Matt, making him just an accepted figure that isn't talked about until the end, and I'm glad they did. Really put the twist in the proper place, and got me real good cause of it. Just wish the revealed person had a teeeeny bit more screentime, just to remember they existed.

I've decided a while ago that I would stop watching these kind of thriller / crime drama miniseries because they always seem to go off the rails in the end and leave me frustrated. So I didn't watch Clickbait and I'm glad I didn't :)

You nailed this lol I was like this is not good but i kept watching and i felt and reacted the same exact way that you did

Okay, I watched one of Amanda's videos for the first time maybe a year or so ago and had a very wrong first impression.

I'm so glad this video exists. I tried 2 episodes and couldn't keep going but wanted to see why everyone was even talking about this

Always a good day when Amanda post tbh

I would LOVE an entire video about pretty little liars, the books and the show

your commentary is very entertaining!

I was watching Clickbait and Open your eyes parallel but the second one made me breathless at the end

I started watching this show and gave up but this video made me go back and watch all of it

I honestly don’t even watch shows or movies anymore I just watch your videos! Haha I love them!!! 💕💕💕💕💕

I paused this to start watching the show and honestly it was better than I expected it to be.

I enjoyed this show very much. The middle dragged a bit, but episodes 6,7, and 8 brought me back in

Finally a show I've watched before the video! XD I actually fell for every theory the show threw at me! I thought Nick was really the catfish, I thought his friend was the catfish, I thought the son's friend was the catfish.. and it is as you say, I watched it in a day, I couldn't stop! I guess I'm the target audience for this kind of shows lol
