Review of Persona

Persona (2018– )
9/10
It's truly a masterpiece, -1 star for some boring events in first couple of eps
7 October 2021
As serial killer stories go - there's a psycho, presumably, on a killing spree with seemingly unrelated victims making local police station look like a circus. Pretty much everything is revealed to us viewers except how will they catch him and more importantly- why is he doing this. The "why" will keep you glued to your seat, make you assume and connect these men in your head. And once you think you've got the hangs of it the story turns upside down and leaves you speechless. Seriously, I did not expect *that* at all The finale is easily 11/10 but it takes a while to get there

Around first 5 or 6 episodes I found everyone who is not Agah very boring, almost a snooze fest which I have to go trough in order to understand what's going on. Especially Nevra, who seemed like your typical idealistic protagonist with added struggle of a woman in man's world. Agah carries that first half of the series, he's pretty funny guy actually. Follow him on his quest of revisiting old friends while Nevra slowly takes bigger and bigger role and very sharply becomes the focus of the story. Wait and see what all of those 53 similar looking men did to deserve the sticker on the forehead. You won't be dissappointed. I mean, you will detest them even if they're fictional but it makes a great story Avoid the spoilers like a plague and take the story as It goes. Warning -it's a lot. It's heavy, it's scary, it leaves a knot somewhere inside that hard to untangle. Because it is very much real. It certainly happened in the past, And it might as well be happening right now. And although this series ends on a positive note, justice isn't that common in the real world sadly.
