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.

"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.

This series is very original. I binged watch it within a night. It proposes a very interesting dilemma - as much as I know of the protagonists' wrongdoings. I was rooting for them the whole series throughout their ups and downs. I thought there was no more story to tell after a few episodes but it kept getting more and more interesting and thrilling. Now I can't wait to watch season 2.

I believe it is a very sensitive topic to portray about blasphemy and religion. However, the portrayal in this series was sensitive enough.

Thai series on Netflix are definitely gems, including 'Ready, Set, Love'. As a Vietnamese, I absolutely adore Thai cinema and television. Hope the series goes on! I truly need more quality Asian originals on Netflix.

Finally! I've been waiting for this kind of originality. This topic of budhism is semi forbidden to discuss but they nailed it to the head. I like how they also balanced out the good and the bad within the "belief business." They did it with such nuance and fairness that me as a viewer find entertaining and eye opening at the same time. You can be critical, fair, and respectful while also be skeptical about how things work behind closed door. I cannot wait for season 2. This is probably by far the best Thai Netflix serie to date.

A little note: find it a little annoying/ distracting when Win kept messing with his hair in difficult situations. But other than that they're good bunch.

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.
