Hold Tight (2022)

Watchseries; Yet another modern day drama where insolent teenagers have the upper hand. What ever happened to parenting and discipline ? The parents of Kaja were just wet lettuces, she was never reprimanded or questioned once about her behaviour, they just sat looking at her as she flounced upstairs ! As for Adam's parents - they were the ones who needed therapy, from HIM ! What a pain.

The story was too long, too drawn out, and with lots of fast forwarding I cut down the episodes from 49 minutes to around 30, so got through it much quicker. Thankfully.

As for the translation issues. I NEVER do dubbing, with subtitles at least you hear the actors voices instead of some American doing the overvoicing while sat in a studio watching the film.

Hold Tight watchseries. Below average for someone like Harlon Coben. The stranger, safe, innocent, these are pretty good series. Apart from that, all the other series are average. This one is the worst. Hands down. Don't know what went wrong. Either the book or the production of the tv show.

The number of low scores tells me that either 1) the reviewers are unable to follow films with subtitles, or 2) they watched the dubbed version. Both speak to the value of those same reviewers' opinions. This is not perfect, but it IS very well written, filmed, directed, and acted. It's also, virtually, the perfect length at six episodes. Watch it!

This is the usual bit of rubbish about "Affluenza" kids, and drugs. The way the story is told makes no sense at all. The first episode, which should provide the background and context for the characters and plot, is non-existent. It consists of a series of random events loosely strung together by choppy editing. One has no idea of who the characters are, or how they are related to one another. As the series progresses, there are many red herrings dragged across the trail to the point where one is watching about 10 different stories, none of which seem to be related. The ending episode is equally stupid. If you watch the whole series, you will be sorely disappointed as it is very unsatisfying as it is unfulfilling. Give it a pass! It's really a very poor production! No wonder Netflix loses subscribers.

Not sure why so many people are saying there's no subtitles when the text messages are shown. I could clearly understand the text messages because I had subtitles on my screen. Maybe all the people saying they couldn't understand because they had no subtitles when the texts were shown should turn on the subtitles on their TV. Stop giving the show bad ratings just because you have no clue how to work your own TV.

I mean it is watchable. Just don't expect anything new. Also don't rly understand why that one man was chosen to act as a teenager, he looks rly out of place with beard and everything. He looked more like 30 year old than a 16yr old.
