Kinda odd
leelemonmeringue20 November 2021
I've just tuned into episode 04 yet I slowly feel like things are getting a bit too much to endure. The series is absolutely absurd. Despite the full of potential plot and philosophy packed inside, the execution is extremely poor.

The first thing to complain is that the characters are pure chaos, as if they were not really human.

The students are ridiculously mean, to the point of unrealistic. The main 4 antagonists (at my current progress) didn't seem like students in the first place, they were controlling, manipulative,... they had too much power in hand; instead of learning the lessons from their mistakes of failed attempts in killing the teacher, they still proceeded to continue the reckless behavior. The assistant teacher seemed very sick as well, I don't really know what to say more about him.

The main protagonist on the other hand, was unbelievably lucky. He magically survived from every scheme the students came up with, I was not convinced by the fact that he managed to attend school right after the day one of the antagonists pushed him to fall down from the stairs. His intentions of teaching the class is baffling, he chose to be in charge of this class for revenge because of his girlfriend's vulnerable state (probably caused by one of the students of the class), so on the surface, his true intentions don't hold much value of educating the viewers. He also had his own catchphrases, but he repeated them so many times that they became annoying.

The second complain is that the show was painful to digest. There was a lot of screaming, the scripts were cringe, the acting was too dramatic. The philosophic messages at the end of the episodes definitely had their points, but were taken to a whole new extreme.

However, you can easily give this a quick watch, as the series only contains 8 episodes with the average length of 25 mins/ep. If you just want a good laugh, turn off your brain and are able to tolerate all of the nonsense, you can watch this. But don't say that I didn't warn you beforehand.

Absolute rubbish

I respect the cast for acting so seriously on such a rubbish script that makes no sense at all.

Please avoid watching this

This is quite possibly the worst series on Netflix. I have no idea how this got produced. Everyone who approved such a project should be fired.

it's something...
wistfuldaydream27 July 2023
The cinematography looks like a 10 year old's school project. Some frames are shaky, like the cameraman was trembling. The actors are amazing though, even if it is incredibly cringy. The story itself is stereotypical and overdone, but it's okay to kill time with. The "plot twists" are all incredibly obvious. Despite the show being NC16, it feels like a kid's show. "mr hiiragi's homeroom" is similar to this, just leagues better. If you're interested in this, go and watch that instead. It's less thriller and more like comedy. His catchphrase is really annoying after a while. It's difficult to watch if you take it too seriously.

Interesting concept, less than average production quality
writerbobl1 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The premise of a new teacher seeking out the person who crippled his fiance is interesting. Setting the story in a class filled with overly entitled, abusive teenagers felt like something that's been a bit played out. The quality of the video felt reminiscent of being shot on overly bright videotape. Yet there's a certain over-the-top camp to the writing and acting that kept me drawn in. It's not going to have universal appeal, but I am enjoying it.

Honestly not as bad as I thought
defaultmeacc5 November 2022
Initially I too agreed with the low ratings and bad reviews, and was a little put off by the unrealistic and nonsensical script of the movie. I couldn't stand the cringe at all and was ready to label it as the worst show I've ever watched. But I kind of just embraced it and went along with the show, and it's honestly quite interesting and silly. The concepts that the teacher uses for each student was also creative. Sure it would be better if the execution was done well, and if the characters weren't so extreme, but the craziness of this series is what made it really funny and entertaining. I recommend this show if want a good laugh, and just don't think too hard.

A sick movie
dahildu22 October 2021
I find myself watch till the end of the movie without getting irritated like a few out there. They keep a good flow of craziness.

However, this is not only a sick and overacting movie, but also can distort young and unstable mind. This is also a typical Japanese high school movie which are full of so-called motivation quotes - which are also pretty distorted.

Weird story but super fun!
martin_tambun22 June 2022
I read the low ratings and watched it without any expectations. So many weird stuff, it wasn't supposed to be a comedy, but I laughed and smiled many times and really enjoyed the show! Best weird story I have ever watched ! If you don't take it seriously and expect the unexpected, you will enjoy this show too! :)

Pretty irritating but not that bad
shaumylh16 May 2023
I like those cast that seriously doing their job, for those comment about "overreacting" i think it's not, you can't make a standard cast, every country has different cast, Japan, America, Korea. You might think it was cringey when it's really different from your expected.

This would be nice if they put consistent story line from thriller to supernatural, cuz it doesn't make sense like the corpse thing, also the plot is too slow, even the duration is not that long, but just for killing people? Why they took it so long, pretty boring plot. I hope they will make better movies ✨ this movie pretty worth to watch.

No story line, no objective
nirwan-mir1 November 2021
I don't recommend this to anyone. Just a waste of time. This series doesn't have any real objective, just crazy topics moves on one another. Better watch something else instead.
