A forgotten Netflix series starring a familiar face from the beloved 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada has been rediscovered by audiences, with many fans confessing they could not stop watching until the very end.
A Gripping Mystery Unfolds
The eight-part thriller, titled Clickbait, is available to stream now and centres on seemingly normal family man Nick Brewer. His life is turned upside down when he becomes the victim of a sinister kidnapping plot and is subsequently accused of horrific crimes.
The show's premise hooks viewers from the start: a disturbing video of a badly beaten Nick appears online. In the video, he holds a card that delivers a chilling ultimatum: 'I abuse women. At 5 million views, I die'. This sets off a frantic race against time to determine if this is a threat, a confession, or a terrifying combination of both.
As Nick's sister and wife desperately search for him, they begin to uncover a hidden side to the man they thought they knew, plunging them into a complex web of secrets and lies.
A Familiar Face in a New Light
The cast of Clickbait features Zoe Kazan from The Big Sick, Betty Gabriel from Get Out, and Jaylin Fletcher from Snowpiercer. The lead role of Nick Brewer is played by Adrian Grenier.
Fans will likely remember Grenier from his role as Nate, the love interest of Anne Hathaway's character in The Devil Wears Prada. In the years since the film's release, his character has been re-evaluated by many, who now brand Nate as the film's real 'villain' due to his unsupportive attitude towards Andrea's career.
Grenier himself has commented on his character, describing Nate as 'a fragile, wounded boy'. Unfortunately for Nate fans, the character will not be returning for the upcoming sequel, The Devil Wears Prada 2, which released its first teaser trailer on November 12.
What Are Viewers Saying?
Netflix subscribers who have discovered Clickbait have been quick to sing its praises on social media and in reviews, with a common theme emerging: its incredible binge-ability.
One viewer wrote, 'This show really kept me on my feet. Every episode did a good job of revealing something big that made me want to keep watching. If you love a good thriller and mystery, def watch it! The acting was very well done and I loved how in depth they went into all the characters. Binge worthy!'
Another shared a similar sentiment, noting, 'This was fun and intense, with a lot of interesting twists and turns. I really like how even the 'bad guys' have a humane side in this series, and how this show demonstrates how easy it is to have the wrong impression on someone.'
A third fan admitted to the show's addictive quality, stating, 'Heard of this series quite a while ago, but just decided to give it a shot last night and I binge watched the entire eight episodes within a day.'
If you are in the mood for an action-packed thriller full of suspense and unexpected revelations, Clickbait is available to stream in full on Netflix now.
