There were 3 reasons I really enjoyed this: 1. The show knew the story it wanted to tell and didn't drag or go all over the place, it immediately grabbed my attention and had me invested in what was going to happen next. I planned to watch an episode a day and that definitely ended up being the entire show in two days. I also can't recall feeling like the plot was being rushed or dragged at any point.

2. The show was well shot and didn't have so many awkward angles like a lot of Thai shows I've seen.

And 3. The characters were pretty well acted and believable, I didn't find any of them to be irritating or just over the top caricatures, they all seemed like real people with real problems and understandable reactions to their situations.

This was a fun watch and I can definitely see myself rewatching it.

I personally admire the idea and key message of the series. Religion and Thai cultures are indeed rooted in people believing.

I also have questions about the underneath business among the religion, politics, and police system. The series also combine the cryptocurrency in the plot which I think this is very up-to-date plot. It also shows us there's always two sides of same coin. The series encourage people to ask some questions about their beliefs. It's so fascinating to see a good Thai series I haven't seen a while.

Amazing plots which you'll not regret watching it. I can't wait to see the next season.

"The Believers" (Sathu) is a Thai series that presents quality beyond expectations, telling a story that challenges thought and reveals issues often avoided in discussions within Thai society, such as religion, through the use of charming characters and impressive performances.

In this series, we do not encounter characters that are purely black or white. Characters like Phra Don illustrate complexity and the struggles occurring within them, while Win is portrayed as a character with both charm and emotional volatility, making the audience feel both admiration and frustration. This evokes a similar feeling to the character of the Professor in "Money Heist," who is filled with intelligence and charisma.

The storytelling of the series does more than entertain; it invites viewers to question beliefs and the issues present in society through the development of multidimensional characters and intense performances. Each episode allows us to explore feelings and thoughts from perspectives we have not encountered before.

The casting feels like a divine gift, bringing together talented actors that let us experience the true diversity of the characters. "The Believers" is not merely an entertaining series but also a meaningful medium that encourages us to pay attention to important issues in society in a straightforward manner.

Hidden gem of a show. I'm suprised how this is not more known on social media in the west. This is some squid game season 1 stuff, but even better. The story, philosophy, cultural critique, personal trauma, love, morality, power dynamics... all woven in so naturally. And none of it felt forced. It's one of those shows where the more you think about it afterward, the more you realize how layered it really was. It's very clear that the creators weren't just trying to make a "cool show" We need more viewers and more global recognition of this masterpiece, I was biting my nails throught the last episodes, acting, filming in the last episodes got very got, story is a masterpiece and is a genius storyline. I cannot wait for the second season.

This series nicely explores the intersection of religion, power, and profit. It delves into the murky waters of modern organized religion, where faith and cash collide. In fact, it seemed cash matters more than the religion itself at this point.

The concept is interesting, with strong performances by the lead cast, however some portrayal of the supposed 'ruthless businessman' might seem cringy at times. The evil shark loan personality and dialogues are somewhat comically evil. Yet, overall, it's still a great show. The series constantly introduces new arc and keeps you hooked throughout. For sure, A gem among Thai series on Netflix.
