Unfold (2026)

Pas mauvais, à voir sur sa suite…

L'intrigue est bonne, mais la narration la rend difficile à suivre, car tout semble décousu. J'adore l'angle d'approche de ce petit thriller. Les informations sont dévoilées progressivement pour préserver le mystère, et certains personnages sont assez étranges pour mettre sur la piste, mais le format est ridiculement court.

En revanche, le dernier épisode perd toute sa tension et son atmosphère pour finir sur une note terne et prévisible. Le mot de la fin ? À suivre… Les personnages sont bons, bien que les acteurs manquent parfois de naturel.

Certaines histoires ne sont pas faites pour les courts formats. Unfold en est la preuve. Sur une moyenne de 18 minutes par épisode, plus de 7 sont consacrés aux génériques. Une série de quatre épisodes aurait permis une meilleure immersion, évitant ainsi les coupures toutes les dix minutes.

Unfold se termine sur un cliffhanger qui ne laisse guère de doute quant à une suite. À voir si elle pourra être aussi convaincante.

Had an insane potential

An alright series, I liked the first few episodes and was genuinely hooked, but it slowly became worse with every episode. The last episode felt like a fever dream, and I'm honestly happy it's done. It wasn't bad, just not really good either.
Would I rewatch it? Only if there is a second season to refresh the memory.
Would I watch a second season? Yes, but I'm not necessarily excited for it or anything.

Things I liked:
1. Bai Che. He is really smart, and I love that about him.
2. Visuals.
3. Idea. The idea behind the series was great and definitely had a lot of potential, but they really didn't execute it well enough.

Things I disliked:
1. Confusing plot. It was interesting but confusing in a lot of aspects. Unfortunately, people who made it are terrible at explaining things. Instead of spending time on explaining certain parts in more depth, they just add more and more lore pieces to make it even more confusing.
2. Cheng Fan. He is an incredibly unlikable character and genuinely pissed me off so hard, and maybe it's a controversial opinion, but realistically he had no personal reason for killing Bai Che's "father."
"He killed my mother" sure buddy... You mean YOU killed your mother? You needed an organ transplant for her, and HE was the first person you went to for help?? Yeah, it's your own fault, and you have only yourself to blame.
And saying, "No need to thank me," what are you even talking about?
3. Credits to the episode ratio. This one is pretty petty, but 50% series and 50% credits is an insane ratio.
4. No logic. As much as I love the plot and idea of this series, I hate how it doesn't make absolutely any sense:
* In episode 5, Ling Ye was theorizing about who killed Bai Che's "father" and even had thoughts that Bai Che might've done it himself. Now in episode 6, all of a sudden, not only does he know that Cheng Fan was the one who did it, but he also doesn't elaborate on how he knows it.
* If Cheng Fan killed Bai Che's "father," how has he not been caught yet? That doesn't make sense. He clearly had some "business" going on with him, so he should be one of the suspects, and don't even get me started on the fact that he touched him without gloves before killing him.
Watching this series feels like there is at least a one-episode gap between each episode. It feels like I'm always missing some information, and things are happening behind the scenes.
