The story is gripping, well-crafted and -paced, although often difficult, sometimes disturbingly so. Baifern and Lukkade were pitch perfect in their roles. The men did well too. But this is so much more than entertainment.

Every single note of this is set up to heighten our emotions and deliver their intensity directly into a call for change. May it be heard, and not lost as everyone moves on in search of the next thrill.

Specifics about the ending in comments so it can be hidden with a spoiler. Not just what happens to the main characters, but all which followed. Koo Ekkasit is amongst Thailand's best directors for grappling with social issues - and trauma which comes from them - with conviction, depth and compassion. Always compassion. When there are things you don't like in his work, look deeper. In everything I've seen, there's always a reason, there's always more.

I know you're all busy and rushing off to the next thing, but please take a moment to click through and read it. Please.

Thicha is less revenge drama and more about justice. That's said in dialogue. Thai television sometimes feels like a country in conversation with itself on what it wants to become. The statement everyone involved in this makes is loud and clear. May it be heard and acted on.

Please.
