The first few episodes were scary, but it quickly became a shallow critique of cults. I understand that cults are bad. But the acting was so flat and the moralising so heavy handed that I couldn't stay interested in the story.

Massively overhyped nonsense. CGI is fairly poor quality. Storyline isn't great and the characters aren't very engaging. I wouldn't recommend this, and certainly wouldn't compare it to squid game!

This series was a waste of potential. Intriguing premise but squandered with a weak script, shock value, and a barrage of disturbing imagery and behavior. Presents humanity at its worth to the point of absurdity.

Quelle bizarrerie que cette série qui semble par bien des aspects sans queue ni tête… je me demande si une seconde saison viendra éclaircir certains points cruciaux et donner au moins quelques tentatives d’explications…

En l’état, on a pour l’instant droit à des « démonstrations » fort réussies au demeurant, des exécutions sommaires d’une rare violence qui ne sont pas sans évoquer celles qu’on affectionnait en place publique au Moyen Age… Et vu qu’elles sont précédées d’avertissements qui mentionnent expressément aux intéressés qu’ils iront « aux enfers » à l’heure prévue (jamais de retard, toujours ponctuels les bourreaux…) une panique mystique s’installe rapidement au sein de la population.

Comme au Moyen Age, une secte prend le relais et une quasi-dictature religieuse s’installe… pour suivre au mieux la volonté de « Dieu » ! on suit en tout cax avec intérêt ces 6 épisodes, toujours curieux de voir et constater jusqu’où ça va aller… une sorte d’épilogue appelle encore d’autres questions supplémentaires mais je crains que les scénaristes stagiaires ne s’en sortiront pas avec un tel foutoir.

Signalons que les comédiens et comédiennes sont tout à fait convaincants et pour certains, bien cinglés et outranciers dans leurs réactions (le fanatisme…) ; mais signalons également que dans l’action (assez rare cependant) tout est filmé caméra à l’épaule, ce qui est, on s’en doute, très désagréable. Mais bon, pour le moment, attendons la suite… de ce délire… infernal !… Expand

Один из самых тупых сериалов. Никаких объяснений, одна глупость героев, сюжета и абсолютно неинтересные персонажи.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was looking forward to seeing this. I made it partway through Episode 3. I was OK with the monsters eviscerating a seemingly innocent mother of 2. The incineration of a man while he was still alive, with the accompanying thrashing around in the oven's window was pretty disturbing. But when they pulled a character's 67 year old terminally ill mother from a van and beat her to death with baseball bats while her daughter watched, I had enough. I watched Squid Game and that it was thought-provoking, even when it was violent. This went way beyond that and I would recommend that people stay away.… Expand

First season itself is a bit too fragmented. But still very thrilling. High expectations on season 2 to bring it back together.

Big surprise of the year, ‘Hellbound’ breaks several barriers, exposes the worst of humanity, ending its first season in a glorious and dark way. A work of the highest level.

The show slowly ramps up to a steady mid level of tension, then plateaus until the end where that level just completely tanks.

Without giving spoilers, if you enjoy things wrapping up nicely, with solid writing, few loose ends (or at least loose ends with meaning), a sense of meaning for all the tension you held throughout your viewing, and a sense of rationale/logical conclusions for why things came to be or why certain elements were included... you're in for disappointment.

On top of this, the three big bad monsters that come for people, look like Grimaces with more defined limbs and covered in tar. They're neither intimidating in look, nor do their visuals connect to the imagery one would conjure up when thinking of "hell". Additionally, they're design, animation, and compositing appears amateurish and rushed. The characters are frustrating at best. Their introductions tend to be forced/rushed, their motives and struggles generic, and their resolve disappointingly anticlimactic. Enough time was already thrown away watching this slow car crash of a series and writing this much about said car crash, so in conclusion, this series could have easily been turned around with more competent writers and designers/animators. For now it's not worth wasting away your time and energy to consume this poor attempt of a project, especially when considering that the "creators" seem to have put in the bare minimum effort into this production.… Expand

This show is quite good. The premise is fairly original and it is a good thriller. Great camera work. The special effects for the most part are good with a few rough spots.

The special effects for the most part are good with a few rough spots. Overall check this show out. It isn't quite at the level of squid game but it is right below it and it is definitely worth watching. I consider the show a solid 8 maybe even an 8.5… Expand
