Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved Riverdale or Pretty Little Liars, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 8 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-MA: meant for adults.
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

A mysterious app promises wishes — then starts a countdown to death. As a group of teens becomes entangled, they must break the deadly chain to survive.
