Lackluster

The idea is an interesting one for a plot. It's not one you would consider thinking through because when you do then it doesn't make sense. However, while the idea piques interest, the execution falls flat. The main characters are not interesting. I don't think I can pinpoint any personality traits from the main girl other than being sad, being awkward, or being regretful over her actions. She's bland and one you can insert yourself with but that is not a likable character. Issues with the love interest fall in terms of miscommunication which is an annoying trope at this point. And despite an impact where the characters are forced to change, the main girl remains the same which she shouldn't.

It takes a watch

This one is a bit of a slow burn. The action drags along and then hits you full force. Character building of all main characters is key treating the watcher much like the police officer in finding the clues. The watcher can as well place themselves in the role of the main character able to sympathize with his situation in living in terrible circumstances as well as having other aspects of one's life worse for wear. Watching the main character's mental state deteriorate is both interesting and saddening given all he's endured and the ending was one I was not seeing. In terms of viewpoint from the antagonist, the camera work does well in occasionally showing his viewpoint and having the audience act as the stalker which is interesting. Not a drama that has a happy ending per se, more like bittersweet and one that gets you thinking over it for days.
