There is a lot more to its story than you might think. Our review of the Netflix series You which has a bit in common (in a roundabout way) with Clickbait >Įssentially, Clickbait has the kind of plot where you can’t truly judge it until you’ve watched all of it. These four directors are Brad Anderson ( The Machinist), Emma Freeman ( Stateless), Cherie Nowlan ( You, Helstrom), and Ben Young ( Extinction). The eight episodes in this limited series are directed by four directors who each made two consecutive episodes. The two creators also wrote on the episodes along with Melissa Scrivner-Love ( Fear the Walking Dead), Bradford Winters ( The Sinner), and Pete McTighe ( Wentworth). Watch the Clickbait limited series on Netflix!Ĭlickbait was created by Tony Ayres ( Glitch) and Christian White ( Relic). With her role in Clickbait, she has a lot to work with and creates the most amazing character! Even though her, rather small, role in Get Out was fairly small, it was quite the revelation for many. Our review of Jordan Peele’s Get Out here >īetty Gabriel was in The Purge: Election Year from 2016 and has since been in Unfriended: Dark Web, Upgrade, and the Apple TV+ series Defending Jacob. It’s great! She’s actually been around for a while though. I first really noticed her in Get Out (2017) and now she seems to be everywhere. The same should be said for his wife, Sophie Brewer, who is played brilliantly by Betty Gabriel. The brother, Nick Brewer, is played by Adrian Grenier ( Entourage) and he has to go through a lot during this mini-series. Fortunately, that’s perfect for Clickbait since Pia Brewer is super high-strung and wants answers. Don’t get me wrong, Zoe Kazan is usually great, I just tend to get irritated with the characters she plays. She often portrays rather annoying characters. She’s actually an actor I feel a bit ambivalent about. The sister is Pia Brewer and she’s portrayed by Zoe Kazan ( The Monster). And really, you shouldn’t look any further since the episode titles do give minor spoilers. Then it’s “The Detective” followed by “The Wife”. The sister of the man in the video, that is. ![]() This means the episodes are named for the person highlighting them. Just as was the case with the Netflix series The Innocent(based on a Harlan Coben novel), every episode focuses on one character in particular. Everyone will want to watch this strange video and many will comment and judge the man. That’s why we all know the man in the video is doomed. Often revealing the vast difference between our virtual and real-life personas. In many ways, Clickbait explores how our most dangerous impulses are fueled in the age of social media. Then again, it’s only the very beginning of what we’ll go through during the eight episodes. This in itself isn’t a very innovative plot. Ed's car was also the one that ran Emma off the road, so we can assume that the couple were responsible for those threat calls as well.The plot is very simple: A video showing a man, beaten and trapped, holds up a sign stating that he will be killed when the video hits 5 million views. It turns out that Dawn and Ed have covered up Nick's murder together, with Dawn confessing to cleaning up the crime scene. Luckily, the police are right behind them, since Kai had shared Dawn's address with Sophie and Ethan. While Sophie and Pia search for him, Dawn and Ed take Kai to their trailer and take away his phone. ![]() Kai, confused at finding his dad's co-worker at the catfish's address, accepts her invitation into the house. So Ed, a character we meet in the finale, has been the killer all along. While Nick threatens to reveal everything, Ed comes up from behind and bludgeons him with a hammer. He confronts her about the fake profiles, saying that she was the only person who had access to his photos and knew his personal information, as he had previously confided in her about Sophie's affair. Rather than head home to safety, Nick goes straight from Simon's warehouse to Dawn's house.
