15 Overhyped Movies That Flopped Hard
15. Thank You, Next
Thank You, Next starts like a classic romance but quickly surprises with relatable characters and a thoughtful look at love in your thirties. Leyla’s story feels real, and it’s easy to see why the show’s doing well on Netflix. | © Netflix
14. Death Note
Death Note takes a bold swing at reimagining a classic, and while it changes a lot, the core idea, a notebook that can kill, still feels powerful and full of potential. The concept alone is strong enough to carry the film, and with a darker, more grounded tone, it offers a fresh take that’s worth checking out. | © Netflix
13. Devil May Cry
Devil May Cry isn't just a faithful adaptation, this movie is stylish, full of attitude, and genuinely impressive from start to finish. The animation nails everything great about the game, capturing the nostalgia, the swagger, and those moments that made playing it feel so cool. | © Netflix
12. Adolescence
Adolescence is a visually bold miniseries, filmed entirely in one continuous shot, giving it an intense and emotional atmosphere. Owen Cooper delivers a powerful performance as Jamie, a teen accused of murder, making the show worth watching despite some uneven storytelling. | © Netflix
11. Bet
Bet is a fun, easy watch, even if you aren't usually into manga; it still has some genuinely funny moments, especially thanks to Yumeko's character. It's great for days when you're bored and don't want to think too hard. | © Netflix
10. Ozark
Ozark lives up to the hype, building tension through each episode until it all explodes in a satisfying finale. While Wendy's character can get annoying at times, the show itself is still terrific and worth your time. | © Netflix
9. Testaments
Testaments offers a short and sweet take on Moses, blending Islamic, Christian, and Jewish versions of the story, so it might differ from what you're used to. It skips some details but hits all the main points, making it worth watching. | © Netflix
8. The Residence
The Residence is brilliant and filled with funny characters, especially Sheila, whose sharp one-liners and hilarious mannerisms steal the show. Even the side characters, like the President’s mother-in-law and the Australian aide, keep things entertaining. | © Netflix
7. Breeders
Breeders perfectly captures the frustration parents secretly feel but never say out loud, which makes it genuinely funny. The final episodes balance drama beautifully with subtle humor, and the cast nails every scene. | © Netflix
6. You
You turned out way better than expected, especially considering how much hype it's gotten since season one. Penn Badgley is incredibly believable as a lovable psychopath, making the show surprisingly bingeable. | © Netflix
5. Cassandra
Cassandra has solid acting, a detailed storyline, and twists that keep viewers excited for each new episode. Even with low expectations from mixed reviews, it's surprisingly good and worth watching. | © Netflix
4. Sirens
Sirens is a very good five-episode story about two sisters, a rich couple, and their staff, so you can watch it all in one go. The characters (especially Jose) are great, and the ending isn't clearly good or bad, which makes it even better. | © Netflix
3. Emily In Paris
Emily in Paris isn’t the most eloquent or deeply written show, but it’s easy to dip in and out of, with bright colors, fun characters, and eye-catching outfits. If you’re looking for something light to escape from the news, the weather, or just life in general, this does the job. | © Netflix
2. Department Q
Department Q follows a sharp but self-destructive detective digging through cold cases that never should’ve been forgotten. It’s bleak, well-acted, and uncomfortably real in a way that makes you stop and think. | © Netflix
1. Squid Game
Season 3 of Squid Game marks the end of Gi-hun’s story, and it’s dropping this June. The creator calls it the finale for a reason. This is where everything he's been building finally comes to a head. | © Netflix
