Girl from Nowhere

This Thai series is centred on mysterious school girl Nanno. She starts most episodes in a new school where she quickly starts to shake things up; turning the tables on those who abuse their positions... teachers, senior students or just those whose popularity makes others follow them. It soon becomes apparent that Nanno isn't a normal girl; she often returns from being killed! In some episode she comes across as an avenging angel, in others a malevolent spirit bent on destroying those she has targeted for vengeance.

This series is hard to classify; at times it is horrific and violent; at others it is comical and sometimes it is both. Nanno is a delightfully ambiguous protagonist; her maniacal laughter is quite disturbing. There is a fair amount of violence, some of it quite bloody as well as many disturbing moments. The way the stories progress means that the viewer will initially be firmly behind what Nanno is doing; then when she takes things further the viewer is left feeling somewhat complicit. Chicha Amatayakul does a really fine job as Nanno and the rest of the cast are solid. Some viewers are less keen on season two but I thought it was just as good as the first and liked the addition of a second Nanno-like character... this one even more vengeful. Overall I'd certainly recommend this series even though its somewhat disturbing storylines will mean it won't be for everybody.

These comments are based on watching the series in Thai with English subtitles.

This series actually has a promising premise, but in practice it seems to have lost its way. Some episodes really have viewers on the edge of their seats, some episodes are subpar. And please note, that all the settings are in schools so the development of the story is limited. For me personally, it should only be 8 episodes, not 13 episodes.

In a way. Oh boy is this a nasty little show. I pretty much enjoyed every episode. Nanno is something else! There are some aspects of her character that reminds me of Tomie. The lead actress is just right for the part & the first time I heard that laugh it creeped me out. I won't give anything away but I will say this...... Some really wild stuff goes on in this show. These kids are NUTS & Nanno is just the "person" to crack them.

I don't know what the heck Nanno is but she serves the best justice.

I heard good things about it so I turned on Netflix and basically binged the whole show within a day.

Nanno is brilliant, the stories are interesting and at the end I wanted more. The only reason I give it an 8 as there are a couple of episodes I didn't find interesting but the rest are really good. WATCH IT NOW
