Full Review

The first season of 'Final Project', originally titled 'Proyecto final', arrives as a Mexican teen drama on Netflix, attempting to weave a narrative around cyberbullying and a student's transformation. The series, comprising twenty short episodes, introduces Tamara, a new student whose fresh start is quickly derailed by online attacks and a classmate's challenge. While the premise is compelling and relevant to contemporary teen experiences, its execution often feels familiar and, at times, peaks too early in its development.

A significant drawback lies in the writing and overall plot construction. Critics frequently point to a paper-thin narrative that attempts to cram too many ideas into its brief runtime, resulting in incoherent storytelling. The plot, despite constant movement, often fails to advance logically, with twists described as absurd and predictable rather than genuinely engaging.

This leads to a frustrating viewing experience where scenes are strung together for immediate impact rather than natural progression, undermining any potential emotional depth. Dialogue and storytelling suffer from these structural issues, with some finding the dialogue poor and relationships lacking emotional substance. The pacing is uneven, a consequence of the micro-drama format trying to cover too much ground too quickly.
