Hellbound

Uma série envolvente que não somente fornece bom momentos dramáticos quanto também discute questões sociais de grande relevância, como a influência da religião na moral de cada um.

The first few episodes were scary, but it quickly became a shallow critique of cults. I understand that cults are bad. But the acting was so flat and the moralising so heavy handed that I couldn't stay interested in the story.

This series was a waste of potential. Intriguing premise but squandered with a weak script, shock value, and a barrage of disturbing imagery and behavior. Presents humanity at its worth to the point of absurdity.

Massively overhyped nonsense. CGI is fairly poor quality. Storyline isn't great and the characters aren't very engaging. I wouldn't recommend this, and certainly wouldn't compare it to squid game!

The show slowly ramps up to a steady mid level of tension, then plateaus until the end where that level just completely tanks. Without giving spoilers, if you enjoy things wrapping up nicely, with solid writing, few loose ends (or at least loose ends with meaning), a sense of meaning for all the tension you held throughout your viewing, and a sense of rationale/logical conclusions for why things came to be or why certain elements were included... you're in for disappointment. On top of this, the three big bad monsters that come for people, look like Grimaces with more defined limbs and covered in tar. They're neither intimidating in look, nor do their visuals connect to the imagery one would conjure up when thinking of "hell". Additionally, they're design, animation, and compositing appears amateurish and rushed. The characters are frustrating at best. Their introductions tend to be forced/rushed, their motives and struggles generic, and their resolve disappointingly anticlimactic. Enough time was already thrown away watching this slow car crash of a series and writing this much about said car crash, so in conclusion, this series could have easily been turned around with more competent writers and designers/animators. For now it's not worth wasting away your time and energy to consume this poor attempt of a project, especially when considering that the "creators" seem to have put in the bare minimum effort into this production.
