I was riveted from the first episode and had no idea the plot would be this twisty. Feels just like a black mirror episode drawn out and full of surprises that feel tragically inevitable. There are just a few tiny continuity flaws, but I was floored how much the suspense hooked me. I love seeing scenes replayed from other characters' perspectives. These angles show flaws and virtues of every character, making for complex writing. It's another fantastic telling of Crime and Punishment, just that every character is a criminal. I watched with the original Thai and subtitles to preserve the actors' performances.

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!

While watching this you are into world of a GAME, where you always look forward to who will delete whom after the first twist in ep1, and you always want to watch more than what is being shown also how a character can be so dumb, e.g. When lily was going to bathroom and she left that 'thing' in the bed and next scene they are in the horse yard(How can she forgot that provided the importance of it in that situation). And the actions of lily in the final ep again was questionable as she dissaproves the decision of own what she had thought of earlier. But that doesn't mean it's boring, it just explain some minor details and leaves the rest for a possible S2(Last twist makes way for it and promises to answer some questions). Pluses are it's engaging till last ep, A Portion of the back story of the 1st girl in ep1, it surely tests your conscience as who is somewhat right,Loneliness of Human Being, etc.

Let's Hope Netflix brings S2 and Writers to shed some light Some Unanswered questions. 🤞🤞

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.

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.
