Fé Nos Negócios

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.

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.

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.

I haven't seen a Thai series that tells a story with such boldness and fun in a long time. Usually, if a series aims to expose "social issues," it "tends not to be enjoyable" because it's too heavy to watch comfortably. And if the series is fun, the plot often lacks depth. But this series manages to do both. The storyline has a heist-film vibe and features characters that are both charming and highly human. It's rare to see a Thai series with a well-defined trio of characters like this.

The series makes us root for the main characters, even though we know they are "not good people." It offers multiple perspectives, showing us why these people who exploit religion do what they do. The series is well-rounded, with humor, drama, love, family, and a touch of investigation that comes in towards the end, making me eager to see more of this aspect in Season 2.

What I love the most is the unpredictability of the characters. We have no idea how things will end for them, especially Win, who has both very dark and very light sides that are hard to separate. He's an incredibly well-written and interesting character.

This is a must-watch Thai original series that I highly recommend. It brings together an astonishing cast that is truly impressive. You don't need to be invested in Buddhism to enjoy it, as its concept can make you think of other similar "markets" that are equally unsettling, whether they be other religions or certain non-profit organizations.

However, if you are invested... you know... you will be even more deeply engaged with what the series 'Sathu' is trying to convey.
