Trigger

Isn't a bad show, the action is solid, the characters are there, and the lead actor is genuinely talented and nailed his role. But there's something missing. I can't exactly put my finger on it, but the series just didn't resonate with me emotionally or leave a lasting impression. It's one of those shows I watched, thought "okay, that was fine," but I wouldn't rewatch it or recommend it enthusiastically. Good performances, decent pacing, just lacking that something to make it memorable.

Netflix's "Trigger" is a tense and immersive series that grabs your attention from the very first episode. The storytelling is sharp, the characters are well-developed, and the pacing never lets up. With its atmospheric visuals and strong performances, the show delivers suspense and intrigue without ever feeling predictable. If you enjoy psychological thrillers with clever twists, "Trigger" is absolutely worth your time.

I found this interesting and disturbing at the very same time. Interesting in that whether they were trying to express a personal or political point of view it really did bring an intense emotional response.

The disturbing part was not only the violence but also how people respond to bullying and hateful behavior.

Korean dramas lately have been replete with violence and bullying scenarios. If that is indicative of Korea or everywhere I don't know. What is both interesting and disturbing is that in nearly every scenario in this drama they behaved as if there were absolutely no other ways for them to get the perpetrators to stop or to see justice done.

As social issues, like bullying, for example professionals need to make sure options are known for children and adults to protect themselves safely.

From the very first scenes, this action thriller grabs you and doesn't let go. It's bloody, it's intense, the acting is solid, and although you can ascertain what the twist is fairly early on, you still have no idea what the outcome with be in the end. It's written that well.

I would also consider it a clear, brutal reflection, near parody, of the USA, it's gun obsession and irrationality, and how people allow themselves to be manipulated by those most concerned with profit, not freedom, public safety or society.

"Trigger" takes the well known Korean troupe of bully and revenge to a new level with its "What if?" action packed series. Sometimes you do root for "the bad guy". And there is talk of a season 2 already.

Trigger is a must-watch show for fans of hypotheticals and thrillers. The show offers more than entertainment; it challenges viewers to reflect on the delicate balance of power and peace. Trigger is not about heroes chasing villains. It is about ordinary people. Broken, angry, desperate, finally given the means to act. The cast is satisfying to watch, the storyline is engaging and even relatable at times, and each episode offers some food for thought.
