A Gripping Show with a few weak spots
It had been a long time since I watched a series that pulled me in from the very first episode, but Hide and Sis did just that. The show is a mix of thriller, drama, and suspense, and what I liked most is that it didn’t overdo any of these elements. The story actually made sense, which is something I really appreciate. Many thrillers get so caught up in shocking twists that they lose track of the main plot, but here, everything tied together in a way that felt natural and easy to follow.
The suspense throughout the series kept me hooked, but I have to admit I was a little let down by the ending. The buildup was strong, but when it came to the final reveal, it felt like the answers were simply handed to us. Instead of giving the audience the feeling that we were solving the mystery along with the characters, the show made it seem like someone else had figured it all out and was just explaining it. This took away from the thrill of discovery and made the ending feel less powerful than it could have been.
The four sisters at the center of the story are definitely the heart of the show. Their relationship drives the narrative, and some of their emotional scenes were truly moving. At times, their performances hit exactly the right note, showing pain, love, and conflict in ways that felt very real.
However, I also felt that their characters could have shown more variety. The sisters had so much scope to display emotions like jealousy, selfishness, or inner strength, but the show seemed to fall back on one main expression: crying. While crying is a powerful tool in emotional storytelling, it was used far too often here. After a while, it started to feel repetitive, almost like the same reaction was being played out again and again, this weakened the impact of certain scenes.
That said, these flaws didn’t stop me from enjoying the series overall. The story was well-paced, the suspense felt natural, and it was the kind of show that made me want to keep watching without breaks. The way it balanced drama with mystery made it very binge-worthy.
