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

    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 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.

    Clickbait is, by its very definition, deceptive, misleading and prone to leaving you feeling slightly cheated. Yet overall, this modestly diverting whodunit manages to sustain, as well as draw, your attention without insulting your intelligence.

    The gimmick wears thin, and is ultimately purposeless when the final reveals roll around in all their absurdity and gratuitousness. I wouldn’t say the ending is as much of an insult to the senses at the ending of “Behind Her Eyes,” but left me simultaneously cold and peeved.

    There’s something about Clickbait that seems a bit off, whether it’s the flat plot or the concentration on characters that are less than interesting. But Kazan puts in a magnetic performance, and that may be more than enough to keep viewers watching through a mystery that stumbles out of the gate, weighed down by technological nonsense.
