So addictive. Great series. Season 2 has to come soon please!!!! I'm hanging on a thread. I had no idea what to expect when I started watching. The twists were so well placed. So many surprises. Definitely a must see. Great acting and writing. More please!!!! I love foreign content. I'm in Canada and tired of the North American genré. Really fresh storyline. I'm really trying to not give any spoilers, but you'll be hooked. I binged it way too fast.

The suspense at the end was so great but then it's done. I need to know what happens. !!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't see anything about another season. My fingers are crossed.

The promo, the production values, and the premise all got my attention. So I sat down to give this a look. It was filmed in Thai and is dubbed roughly in English. Overall I'd say this isn't a huge drawback. But you will notice it in essentially every single scene. This sort of thing is more acceptable when you're watching Godzilla then when you're trying to watch a serious drama.

Magic Camera makes people disappear. All right I want to know more. So I watch. I watch two episodes. And suddenly it Dawn's on me that there's nothing that this premise brings to the story.

If you want someone out of your life you don't need a Magic Camera to do it, you can simply eliminate them the old fashioned way. So this is a story about people who kill people who get in their way. It's not a new story at all. To that end I'm wondering what the point is of having a magical camera.

By the way if you did have a magical camera that could murder anyone simply by snapping their picture, would you be constantly looking in the lens yourself? Would you point the camera in your direction all the time? This is after all the equivalent of a gun. Who points a gun at themselves?

In a lot of ways I found this a reimagining of an episode of Dallas. Wealthy people, backbiting, treachery deceit infidelity.

And I suppose if that's what you want to see, essentially a Hallmark version of Dallas with a bit more gore thrown in, then I suppose this will be as passible as any similar work. And that's why I gave it a 5 out of 10. It doesn't get any points for Magic Camera. It doesn't get any points for breaking new ground.

This is just another episode of another soap opera.

Nothing wrong with that but don't be expecting me to sing its praises.

Delete: Thai Horror/SF series about a phone camera which makes people disappear. Sounds useful but there may be complications if love triangles are involved and maybe not all disappearances are due to deletions. A bit of soap is involved with standard school bullying. Perhaps one subplot too many but the tension is maintained. The horror is more of a psychological nature as this device literally invokes existential terror for both the users and potential victims. Secrets both mundane and mondo are revealed as the narrative unfolds. This is a dark tale.

Directed and Co-Written by Parkpoom Wongpoom. Eight episodes on Netflix. 8/10.

The camera angle in many scenes are not really sensible to me. The overall story however is actually not bad. I would say that it is filled with many dilemmas. The acting is all good especially Lilly. There was a little strange choice like using Christian school as opposed to a typical school with Buddhism which would feel more Thai. This is not as good as Nanno the Girl from no where.( And I know it's not a fair comparison since that one is more like a one episode standalone) overall you will see how this delete device show the true color of many characters. The love triangle story is done quite well. You will always question yourself about who is right who is wrong.

I've been reviewing for a good decade now, and I have been only disappointed by US series that adopt the 'lost' model, you know, where nothing happens but a new red herring is revealed to keep you going at the end of each episode.

Here, the series defies all Thai standards, and displays a bunch of flawed individuals instead of the usual good vs bad. Everyone is a bit of a POS, and it's really great to watch the outcome of all the mayhem. Stuff actually HAPPENS in each episode, believe it or not:)

Sure, it's not high art either, but Nopachai Chaiyanam (the cop) is absolutely brilliant in his role - he could have played the T1000 in T2 and pull it off. Cold as ice. Genuinely happy I discovered him in this show!
