    It holds together as myriad characters come and go thanks to strong turns by Kazan as a sister driven to find out the truth about her brother, and Gabriel, as a wife who finds her reality in tatters. They are the anchors who keep this dervish series grounded.

    For the most part, though, the ensemble’s work feels urgent and in the moment, and that matters for a series like this. Ultimately, “Clickbait” doesn’t say anything singular about the anonymity of the Internet, and it flirts with a lot of big ideas it doesn’t pursue as vigorously as it could have. ... But a show that went down those roads wouldn’t have been “Clickbait,” and also probably wouldn’t have been this silly or low-brow entertaining.

    This is probably the worst written show I've watched in the last decade. Nothing about any of the characters motivations makes a lick of senseThis is probably the worst written show I've watched in the last decade. Nothing about any of the characters motivations makes a lick of sense and there's just pointless misdirects for the sake of it. The entire mystery answer feels like a **** cop out and they just throw around dumb technology terms to seem like they know what they're talking about. Full Review »

    Poorly written and badly acted, barely made through the first episode. As that wise reviewer from Paste said, it's pure dreck.
