wasted potential, needed more development in the plot
This show really caught my attention with the whole crime scene cleaner intro, it felt very promising and it started with so much potential. Like the premise alone immediately caught my attention because, from the top of my head, I can't think of many stories around crime-scene cleaners, i know that its not the main plot but it really caught my attention. Combined with themes of trafficking, corruption, suspense, action, and romance, it sounded like it could make for a really interesting and unique story.
Unfortunately, I felt that the execution that the directors/writers didn't live up to the potential of the premise. The plot became increasingly confusing as we went along the short episodes, and there were several moments where I wasn't even sure what was actually happening or where the story was trying to go. The development felt very minimal. Nothing basically. It kinda made me sad to see such potential being wasted. I just dont feel like there just wasn't enough depth built into the story for me to feel like I had a strong sense of where the characters or plot could go.
Gotta admit, I also found the episode lengths a little strange. I went into the show expecting idek maybe like roughly 15-minute episodes+/- , but the extremely long end credits genuinely threw me off.
Overall, I really wanted to like Unfold because its premise was so unique and promising. I just really do wish the show had taken more time to develop its ideas prior to the release orgive the show more time, either more episodes or longer episodes idk. YK sit on the plot a bit more, make it better. It felt like there was a genuinely interesting concept underneath it all, but it never quite reached its potential.
