A vivid example of how any interest in a good series can be killed by a completely stupid, illogical and far-fetched ending in the spirit of "if only no one guessed." If you like twists for the sake of twists – look, maybe this will come in. But I felt like I was being treated like an idiot.

Watched
Cool series. I watched it in one day! Riddles, secrets, again and again new versions! Famously twisted plot!

Watched
A truly exciting series. Not just a detective, but also many important accents. For example, about how gadgets affect our lives and whether online dating is dangerous

Won't Watch
The series didn’t go over well. It was all very contrived and cheap.

Watched
Everything is good in this series, but the actress (Zoe Kazan) is just terrible in every way)! I guess I’m the only one who thinks so :)

Watched
A good series that focuses on important things in the era of social networks. Unexpected ending.

Watched
A series with a strong detective core. Who is the villain is unknown until the very end. However, Netflix hung anything on this whole thing: the harm of social networks, a soap opera, annoying journalists … Which turns a peppy series into a typical commercial film product with bloated timing.

Watched
I liked it. The visuals are nice, the pop-up messages fit in well, it pleases the eye as a whole, there are no complaints about the picture at all. The development of events does not sag. There was no stupidity of the characters. I was interested throughout all the episodes. The series is quite cheerful and lifelike.

Watched
This is not only a detective investigation, it is also a psychological drama. The plot is twisted, keeps you in suspense, you constantly wonder, so what is guilty. I never got around to the last episode.

Watched
A strong detective, with an unusual protagonist – the younger sister of the missing protagonist. Unexpectedly, the Family underdog becomes the leader of the drama. The plot is impossible to predict. The brain works intensively on the solution. But in vain, to provide scenario moves turns out to be mission imposs
