I can see what they were doing but...

This is my honest opinion straight after watching this.

Firstly, I think it had more potential than was portrayed, because I could see what was happening but there was a struggle in how cohesive the story was. In my opinion I tried to enjoy it but didn't. There were just so many plot holes and it felt confusing even with the "previously" parts that added parts of the story that weren't actually shown beforehand.
Whenever something started to get interesting and I would get excited for new plot twists it would just peter off and lose its value. It was sad to watch such potential fall. It was overall pretty boring.

The casting and acting was actually really good, the only redeeming factor otherwise my review would be lower. I started this show for Bright lol like most people that have watched this, everyone was really good at the roles they were portraying but THEY DIDN'T GET JUSTICE!! The character depth was bare minimum and any attempt at reviving some sort of backstory was kind of stupid. Like how in Q's childhood his dad was abusive, he just accidentally took a stuffed toy home?? seriously????? How did that lead him to abuse social media and ruin people's lives? He literally went and put camera's in people's homes!!!!

The music was bland and was just typical to plot, didn't do much and I barely noticed it.

Overall it's below average, not to bag it but I tried hard to enjoy it but yeah. As a psychological horror (I think that's a close genre to this) enthusiast I struggled. I wish they maybe took the time to make it 12 episodes long and rethink the characters and their stories. It just had so many holes in the story and little exceptions that made no sense, like when Q let the two girls go because they apologised to the family. Couldn't you have done the same for some other characters?

I don't think this is worth the 5 hour watch time. Confusing and surface level plot. I still love Bright though hahah!
