The Believers

"The Believers" (Sathu) is a Thai series that presents quality beyond expectations, telling a story that challenges thought and reveals issues often avoided in discussions within Thai society, such as religion, through the use of charming characters and impressive performances.

In this series, we do not encounter characters that are purely black or white. Characters like Phra Don illustrate complexity and the struggles occurring within them, while Win is portrayed as a character with both charm and emotional volatility, making the audience feel both admiration and frustration. This evokes a similar feeling to the character of the Professor in "Money Heist," who is filled with intelligence and charisma.

The storytelling of the series does more than entertain; it invites viewers to question beliefs and the issues present in society through the development of multidimensional characters and intense performances. Each episode allows us to explore feelings and thoughts from perspectives we have not encountered before.

The casting feels like a divine gift, bringing together talented actors that let us experience the true diversity of the characters. "The Believers" is not merely an entertaining series but also a meaningful medium that encourages us to pay attention to important issues in society in a straightforward manner.

I love this show so much it was my comfort show for like 2 days and after that i missed watching the show so i rewatched it in a day a day after i finished it.

The actors are AMAZING, I NEED SEASON 2 IMMEDIATELY NOW PLEASE.

I also love the plot it wasnt rush or too slow or anything it was perfect. I didnt recall anything in the show that bothered me, it was perfectly filmed and the script is amazing. I would definitely watch it for the 3rd time again!!!

The actors are also hot(dear and game) so thats another reason to watch it. The acting was perfecttttt and i just love this show you guys should give it a try to watch it!!

This series is very original. I binged watch it within a night. It proposes a very interesting dilemma - as much as I know of the protagonists' wrongdoings. I was rooting for them the whole series throughout their ups and downs. I thought there was no more story to tell after a few episodes but it kept getting more and more interesting and thrilling. Now I can't wait to watch season 2.

I believe it is a very sensitive topic to portray about blasphemy and religion. However, the portrayal in this series was sensitive enough.

Thai series on Netflix are definitely gems, including 'Ready, Set, Love'. As a Vietnamese, I absolutely adore Thai cinema and television. Hope the series goes on! I truly need more quality Asian originals on Netflix.

There were 3 reasons I really enjoyed this: 1. The show knew the story it wanted to tell and didn't drag or go all over the place, it immediately grabbed my attention and had me invested in what was going to happen next. I planned to watch an episode a day and that definitely ended up being the entire show in two days. I also can't recall feeling like the plot was being rushed or dragged at any point.

2. The show was well shot and didn't have so many awkward angles like a lot of Thai shows I've seen.

And 3. The characters were pretty well acted and believable, I didn't find any of them to be irritating or just over the top caricatures, they all seemed like real people with real problems and understandable reactions to their situations.

This was a fun watch and I can definitely see myself rewatching it.

Hidden gem of a show. I'm suprised how this is not more known on social media in the west. This is some squid game season 1 stuff, but even better. The story, philosophy, cultural critique, personal trauma, love, morality, power dynamics... all woven in so naturally. And none of it felt forced. It's one of those shows where the more you think about it afterward, the more you realize how layered it really was. It's very clear that the creators weren't just trying to make a "cool show" We need more viewers and more global recognition of this masterpiece, I was biting my nails throught the last episodes, acting, filming in the last episodes got very got, story is a masterpiece and is a genius storyline. I cannot wait for the second season.
