I haven't watched it yet I wonder the rating is very low And the reviews are very negative
actually watched it. The ratings and reviews are pretty understandableâit has some flaws. But depending on what you're looking for, you might still find it interesting."
The thing is, this is Netflix's anti-gun rhetoric targetted towards the US primarily.It isn't really a fictional…
get what you're trying to say, but I donât really agree. Yeah, Trigger was obviously pushing the whole âguns are the problemâ thing, but that doesnât mean the show had no story or depth. School shootings are a real issue in the US, so of course they focused on that.
And sure, itâs not just about guns. Thereâs bullying, mental health, family stuff, all of that. But the show picked one angle to focus on. Thatâs what shows do sometimes. Theyâre not documentaries, they donât have to cover everything.
You mentioned the Philippines has guns and bullying but no school shootingsâyeah, true. But you canât compare it 1:1 with the US. The culture, mindset, media, everything is totally different. Just having guns doesnât automatically lead to shootingsâitâs a mix of factors.
Also yeah, they didnât really address the bullying part in-depth, which I agree is kinda messed up. But maybe that was intentionalâlike showing how broken the system is. Kids get bullied, nothing gets fixed, and people only care after something bad happens.
At the end of the day, itâs still fiction. It had a message, whether you agree or not. Doesnât mean itâs brainwashing peopleâit just made a point.
just finished watching Trigger, and while I think it was a solid drama overall, I couldnât help but feel a bit let down by the end.
The concept was genuinely interesting â it felt like the story had the potential to grow into something much bigger and more daring. For a while, it seemed like they were building toward that. But instead of expanding the storyâs scale or diving deeper into the heavier themes, the show pulled back and stayed within a safer, more comfortable zone.
That choice didnât ruin it, but it definitely held it back from being something great. Itâs one of those dramas where you can see how much more it could have done â and that makes it a bit frustrating.
Still, Iâd say itâs worth a watch, especially if you're into dramas about media, truth, and power. Just go in with adjusted expectations.
