Clickbait (TV Mini Series) The Detective (2021) User Reviews

Good, but

[zachmetzgers · 6/10 · 5 December 2021]

The mystery deepens and the twists & turns are good, but the script falls victim to the same mistake that many mysteries do: The filmmakers don't want all of the information revealed yet so character respond and behave counter to how they REALLY would. For example, when Pia tells the detective that her brother had some troubles earlier in life and was very anger, the detective doesn't ask a single follow-up question. HUH? Lots of moments like that where you can tell that the filmmakers don't want us to know everything yet so they have characters act strangely or obtusely to withhold info. Better writing could easily solve this. It's an entertaining episode if you can get past that though.

Let's Get To Work, People!

Okay!!! Do we pick up where the last one left off? Van opens??? Oh yes they did! And the Van is Empty! CLEAR!!!!

So in this one we establish that the lead detective is a MUSLIM. Pia discloses the call she got from Nick at 130 am the day he disappeared. Pia says she doesn't have anything to hide.

Amiri, the Detective, has problems with his 'fellow officers' in the department. They really seem to have it in for him for some reason. They say he's not a 'team player'.

Somehow, Amiri figures out a spot where they should logically search for Nick. A nighttime search and wow! They actually found him? Dead. +1 Star for Grenier being dead. That was unexpected!!!!

Now the HOMICIDE DEPT. Has a homicide to WORK on!!!

6/10.

No... it can't be........

Pretty good episode. Not as good as the first cuz less happened, a bit more boring. I do like Amiri quite a bit though. His struggle is real!! Also, weeeird stuff happening in this episode... real weird... my instinct from other shows tells me not everything I see here is entirely true. And why is that lead detective so mean?? Is he anti-Muslim? I bet he is. That's why he looks so evil......

Amiri's Promotion

This episode begins with the police, they arrive at the possible place where Nick is. Sophie gives a press conference. Amiri found Nick his dead body. Amiri tells to Pia that he found her brother. Amiri got promoted to homicide. Solid Episode of Clickbait Season 1, this episode Amiri was the main character. Really nice character. What a shock, Nick has been killed!

This episode starts off at a cracking pace and really sets the whole thing up well. I found one of the characters hair most interesting it was blonde and extremely straight. There was a massive argument at the start and then the next day she saw that thing on the internet where he was holding up all the signs and stuff but it was funny because it said that they would kill him after 5 million views but the kept looking at it anyway until someone pointed out that doing so was quite silly. Then the cop did that thing with that ap that everyone on was using so he could eventually find the bloke although I'm not sure if that happened in the first of second episode.

Worst episode of any show.

[eldreddsouza · 3/10 · 13 September 2021]

Lazy writing, nothing happening, poorly connected to the previous episode that left on a cliffhanger. The detective's role has been badly written and too much focus has been laid on his religion for no reason. Those parts were super boring. There's just one reveal, otherwise nothing happens in this episode. You could literally watch only the last ten minutes. Very bad episode.

Dear Netflix

[omarcantbestopped · 1/10 · 7 September 2021]

If you were to add a character who suppose to be Muslim and praying, make sure he does it correctly and don't disrespect peoples religion.

He says he doesn't drink alcohol but yet first episode he invited her for a drink That's lame and very stupid decisions on Netflix.
