Good watch and I would recommend it if you like psychological thrillers. The story unfolded in a way that you may feel one way to only feel another once more parts of the story is unraveled. The story becomes increasingly harder to watch emotionally as it gradually reaches its climax at the top of the rollercoaster and descends into a free fall.

This series reminds me a lot of “Promising Young Woman” with one defining difference. In Promising, you mostly see the bad side of those involved and so when their reckoning comes, there is no question in your mind as to whether they deserved it or not. Whereas in Remember, the involvement of most of the people on the island are indirect, and you are shown their good side as well as their bad. When their judgement day comes, you question whether the victim may be going too far. And for me, this is what I liked the most about Remember. Is that most of the characters aren’t black and white.

Despite my praises, I am rating this a 7. I felt that there were potentially meaningful messages the creators could have gone with, but for some reason, they went with the “holier than thou” message in the end which is kinda surprising given the many social issues brought up in the series. Dysfunctional family, bullying, rape, mental illness, etc. Messages they could have gone with is not turning a blind eye against victims, schools and teachers recognizing signs of home abuse, school corruption, how some people shouldn’t have children, etc. But the message they ultimately chose honestly felt like a slap in the face to all those involved and viewers like me who sympathize with them. There are a couple of more reasons why I dinged this to a 7, but this is already an essay lol.

Anyway, watch it. Enjoy the mystery, the heartache and perhaps even learning and growing as a person as you evaluate where you stand on the issues brought up in the series.
