Anticlimatic
The show started with a gripping hook, but by the middle episodes, the momentum vanished. It fell into the classic trap of "filler" episodes—protracted scenes of characters staring into the distance or repetitive flashbacks that didn't add new information. What could have been a tight, 12-episode thriller felt overextended and lethargic.
The biggest frustration was the protagonist's decision-making. In an attempt to create "tension," the writers forced the characters to make bafflingly illogical choices that ignored their supposed expertise or established personalities. It’s hard to stay invested in a high-stakes "climax" when the characters are essentially walking into traps that a toddler could see coming.
If you’re looking for something to have on in the background while, some visuals are "nice" to look at. But the "screaming acting" is not doing it for me.

f you want a story that respects your time and intelligence, Climax unfortunately falls flat.
