![]() ![]() It’s never a good show, but it is initially intriguing, even if the conceit is stale. The same cannot be said of Netflix’s Clickbait, a harebrained mystery masquerading as (thin) commentary on modern Internet culture, from catfishing to cancel culture. You start the episode with a murder, and 42 minutes later, the murder has been solved. But I also appreciate their compact, efficient nature - there’s a crime, witnesses are questioned, leads are pursued. Dawn then convinces Ed to let Kai ago, but refuses to be arrested, so the police shoot him.Īfterwards, Sophie puts pictures of Nick back up in the house, Roshan reveals Tara will press charges against Matt, and Sophie and Pia console each other at the funeral they're finally able to hold for an exonerated Nick.As someone who has watched too many episodes of Law & Order, Castle, and Psych, I understand the comforts of a good procedural. They manage to arrest Dawn, but Ed catches Kai and holds him hostage. The police arrive and begin to close in on Dawn and Ed. He escapes, and hides out in a nearby stable. Dawn and Ed throw Kai's phone out the car and take him to a ranch, where they attempt to keep him in a trailer. Sophie and Pia find their house empty at the same time. In the present day, Kai meets Dawn and Ed, who say they'll take him home (which is clearly a lie). Once Nick was released by Simon, he confronted Dawn, only to be killed by Ed. Still, Dawn continues, pressuring one of "Nick's" matches Sarah to take her own life. Instead of respecting his privacy, like any other coworker would do, Dawn snoops and discovers an old dating profile Nick never used, along with all his password information. It turns out when Nick started his job, he asked Dawn for help setting up his computer. At the end of the series, Nick and Sophie's younger son discovers the location of Nick's colleague Dawn and her husband Ed. Scroll down to see what happened at the end of Clickbait. Until then, we can only make sense of the ending, tell all our friends to also watch, and hope the Clickbait fanbase is as dedicated as say, the Manifest fans. Are Roshan and Pia going to get together? Do Kai and Ethan have their own secrets to uncover? We'll have to wait and see if the Netflix powers that be think the show is worth reviving.
