The Innocent (2021)
7/10
Too explicit and gruesome - Avoid if you are depressed/pregnant/get easily disturbed
20 May 2021
The series is very well made and maintains the thrill till the end. But unfortunately it is too explicit and gruesome to watch. I don't know why the director has too have such explicit adult scenes and gruesome violence shown so graphically. We get the idea , the suffering these women and kids are going through but do you have to beat it into our head with such images. The screenplay is brilliant and the twists just keep coming and whats the good part is they are not created for confusion or to give a thrill. The twists make perfect sense when you see the whole picture. Issues I have with the series besides the excessive violence and adult scenes is the character of the lead actor, who despite having been burnt so many times, is still so naive till the end to believe anyone and thats what keeps getting him in trouble. There is some exceptional acting.

Overall if you get disturbed easily or are pregnant do not watch this. If you are depressed or even in a sad mood, you will lose hope with mankind watching this series. And you definitely don't want your teenagers anywhere near this.
