Grid

I really need someone to explain to me what happened in the last episode especially the last 15 minutes!!!! 😭😭 I loved the mystery that was found in the drama, but can't give it 10 stars because I didn't understand anything literally 😭😭😭

It's got the potential to be the best, but what happened?

The first episode was promising and I expected it to continue doing so but went slow and stagnant for few episodes instead. I know they were up to something, and you can see they're leading up to it...but I guess they got confused on how. I mean the plot was great, acting was awesome, casts got chemistry, and editing was good; but the sequence and flow of events were not confusing which was great but they're rather bland. The timing was off somehow, specially the first few episodes, but it did pick up. But when things picked up during the last episodes, it felt rushed specially compared to the first episodes, but they could have intended for that to happen. I just wish they didn't, just so they could have accomplished a much better suspense in the end.

The dark feel and atmosphere of the show was either good or bad or both, depending on the viewer; mysterious or boring, intellectual or pretentious; but still interesting. But its still a great show despite the botched timing or presentation or division of events. I'm really looking forward for a second season.

If season 2 will happen and it really should, they could bring in more viewers if they make things better than the first season. This could really be huge.

Grid offers something new and fresh and better than some monotonous Hollywood sci-fi series. The story is not very good but the element of mystery managed to keep me going until the end of the episode.

This series was probably 3 episodes too long. The first six/seven episodes flowed nicely, and I felt, were engaging. I felt episodes 8 and 9 were just efforts to extend the story. Still entertaining, but, much less so than the previous episodes. Then you had the last episode...Lord...As others have remarked, the last episode made no sense. I just finished watching it and I am totally confused. The story up until the end was original. As with most Korean movies/series, the acting was great. I deducted stars from my rating for the above reasons. Just go in knowing you will be shaking your head at the ending.

This is clearly a well-budgeted and well-made show.

However, I was left feeling out of place with it constantly. Maybe it's my fault - I did watch it sporadically so I kept having to catch up with the thread of the story.

Nevertheless I just didn't connect with it and didn't feel the sense of danger that (I presume) I was supposed to feel.

The acting is fine and it's full of nice shots and cinematography. But it all felt very clinical - even with the subtitles (I find dubbing often puts me off) and left me baffled why I should care.

A complex story really needs to get you involved and this one doesn't. So you're left with no reason to invest the time. However, I did manage to watch the entire show, but the final episodes felt more like a duty than a fun.

If they do a second series I may give it a try... there are the seeds of a good show in there.
