Detention

The first two episodes are okay But it goes south from there. Episode 5 is by far the worst, totally waste of time. If Espinosa 5 is made to make their relationship explicit, I would it's meaningless. If this is a horror, not terrible at at. If this is a love story, the relationship is so cliche and boring. If this is a psychological/mental, all you have is a fragile naive girl and a mental loser mom. Plots are so easily predicted. Either the writer loses his focus or the series has nothing to do with the movie. If you don't like the first two, no need to go further.

If you expect to watch many jump scare in this series, you will be disappointed. Even this series is a horor genre, but this is love story drama. I'm very touching with the story, how the writer, director, and editor, serve and prepare this series beautifully. Thank you for all cast, crew and netflix for making this beautiful series

"Detention" is a slow-burn series with a great twist. While I don't know much about Chinese history, I can sense that they did a good job incorporating it into the storyline. Additionally, like many Chinese movies, the message is very profound and thought-provoking. It keeps me reflecting on the importance of facing difficulties instead of burying them and how love can be both beautiful and painful. The horror aspect of the series is not overly scary and avoids jump scares or grotesque ghosts, making it more psychologically intriguing than terrifying. Overall, it's a unique blend of horror, history, and emotional depth.

I loved this show. It was really slow to get started. Really, really slow. But around the middle of the series things pick up rapidly and the reality of everything really comes crashing in. The last couple episodes are so cathartic if a bit confusing. I loved the game so getting some karmic vengeance on the horrible people who created this situation was wonderful. And I really enjoyed getting a happy ending.

Also all the nods to the game at the end? Loved it!

I was actually intrigued by this series because at first I thought it was a movie like it was when it was just released. But it turns out that this is a series that is either related to the film version or not. At least until episode 5-6 I still like it but the rest I can't stand it anymore because it's too boring.
