A Pulpy Thriller That Doesn't Care About Logic

I'll admit I had a certain amount of fun watching this but in terms of quality - it's just not there. The show prioritizes melodramatic twists over logic and characters rarely have motivation for doing what they do. If you actually think about any singular "twist" on this show it falls apart.

I also had issues with our female lead. She passive, reactive, and lacks skepticism entirely. She believes everything she's told at all times - even when the source is OBVIOUSLY untrustworthy. And she's TOLD a lot. She uncovers almost nothing on her own but rather the mystery unfolds as characters show up and explain things. The eventual reveals are shallow and - again - don't make a lot of sense if you think about them for more than a moment.

If you want to watch attractive people running around in a noir style show - this IS entertaining enough. But in terms of writing they weren't even really trying.

A Must-Watch for Thriller Lovers

I have to leave a review for this series because it's one of the few thrillers I've seen that actually made sense beginning to end. There are twists and turns throughout and the plot is perfectly paced with just enough story for 16 episodes. And there are no derailments into sci-fi nonsense (like a mid-series brain transplant for example...).

The writers of this show had firm command over what to reveal when - playing with the audience just enough to keep the guessing game of who from the past is who in present day fun. I also loved the way this series explored brotherhood and what it means to be loyal.

I'm exceptionally picky with thrillers and this one delivered in a big way. If you like thrillers this is a must watch.

Strong Horror With Tight Plot

Taking a handful of fun, tried-and-true horror tropes, Monstrous delivers a tight plot with engaging characters played by phenomenal actors. I watch a lot of Korean horror dramas and I am constantly disappointed by a lack of logic in terms of the supernatural mechanism. But this show did a wonderful job of setting up the rules of the curse and staying consistent with them throughout. It also had a tension filled closed door plot-line with a great villain. I had a lot of fun.

VFX were laughably terrible though. Luckily they're only used sparingly.
