Muted (2023)
6/10
Entertaining but plot holes everywhere...

Warning: Spoilers
I love a slow burn drama/thriller and can be patient for a good reveal, but this story was simply ludicrous. The majority of the characters were completely unlikeable and the plot holes were gaping. I do have to say episode 1 started off good and had me captivated from the beginning.

My first question is Why would the government waste money to follow a random guy that was lawfully released on probation? Who funded this elaborate surveillance room with at least 6-10 full time round the clock researchers. Isn't it illegal to secretly hide cameras in someone's home without their knowledge? Why did they care about his heart rate information? The fact that they have access to the entire city's CCTV system and are able to literally follow his every move LIVE seems so ridiculous. And for what?

How was Noa in the same city, with the same name and he never once ran into her nor could he locate her? How did the psychologist manage to adopt Noa and why would they allow her to monitor (stalk) her brother? What caused the obsession with him?

Now the characters: First we have the "man of God" who looks like a complete gangster from the get-go. What was the point of him in this series as his story had little to do with the larger plot. Next there is Marta. For some reason her character bothered me in this story. Too much unnecessary drama with the boyfriend and why did she write to him in the first place- and did she not know his sister still lived there as it turned out she used to watch her??

Ana was just creepy and psycho. Her colleagues would know of her obsession and yet they still let her sneak around in his home, connect with him let alone run this investigation? At the end of the day, there was no real "proof" of his mom drugging him, only the room with some vials but that could easily have been disputed. I could go on and on but there would be too much to criticize.
