The Episode Review
So Clickbait concludes with one final twist, confirming that the clickbait title should have been “catfish,” though to be fair, that may have given too much away.
The concept of a lonely wife committing a cybercrime that inadvertently caused a death that spiraled out of control is actually quite nice, but the execution has been so-so.
The constant revolving door of protagonists in each episode has been a major irritant, leaving many loose ends and unfinished character stories.
Were there any consequences for Ben breaking into Simon’s home? What became of Daryl and Simon in the end? What about Ethan and Alison? Do they have a relationship now? There are others, but these are the ones that come up by the end of the chapter.
Despite this, the actual mystery has been quite intriguing, and I must admit that the final twist caught me completely off guard.
I was expecting that reporter or at the very least Detective Amiri. However, it’s a nice addition, and this episode does a good job of explaining how everything connects.
