The Whisperer (2023)

horror series with horrible characters

Overall: though I appreciated that they tried something different, its release was clouded by lack of an official international release and delayed episodes. Airing 10 episodes about 45 minutes each on Fix Entertainment's YouTube channel (need a VPN set to Thailand). Here is the first episode part 1 link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sNsxNokJwc

Content Warnings: murders, deaths, attempted murder, rape, attempted suicide, torture, blood, gore, jump scares, mental health struggles, kidnapping, gaslighting, sexual assault, coercion, slap, homophobia, non con video recording, manhandling, manipulation

What I Liked
- unique premise
- twists and turns
- intimate scenes were fine (but they were between awful people so I didn't get into them)

Room For Improvement
- many characters were stupid ie telling a murderer that you know what they did
- trope of saw someone hug and thought they were cheating
- trope of extremely drunk and then active participant during sex
- the kid slept way too much (he's 5 so might not be in school, but I've never seen a 5 year old sleep/nap that much)
- really hope there isn't a happily ever after for a certain character because what he did was beyond awful in episode 9
- they never had an international release, made no sense why they geo restricted it to Thailand on YouTube
- that they delayed an episode by a week and then delayed the finale with no word on when it would be released

potential ruined!

it was bad. strong statement I know but it's bad. The story is actually potential and with proper execution it would've been soo good.


what I liked:-
- The concept it's actually fresh new and something away from typical bl love story.
-the basic storyline... it was different.
-few acting part not the whole acting of the show.

everything else could've been improved. the 'not airing the last episode internationally' was ridiculous... still no clue about it. the story never differentiate between horror or mental issues element. one character just dies out of no where for merely knowing about an affair and no one's possible giving a damn about it. why was the kid always sleeping like literally all the time... yeah basically it's mostly fuxked up because of the execution.
if it's remade with better production, proper storyline and good actors.. it's a damn good project.

Uhh, so.. are we getting the last episode?

This BL series was something different. I was TOTALLY shocked by every episode. I loved the drama. I loved the fact that everyone was evil. I loved that we didn’t know if the things were happening in real life, or if they were just in Koon’s sick mind…

I was really glad that my country was „chosen“ by The Whisperer team and I could watch it on YouTube without VPN. Others weren't that lucky, tho. That's really bad if you want to get views (and money). So maybe don't do that. Anyway. I’m glad they weren’t afraid to do something else. Lately, a lot of BL watchers want more action and/or horror BL. Do you know how many times I’ve manifested something like The Whisperer? It was daring, but it paid off. I loved it!

It was also kinda funny. Especially the things that Koon’s brother's girlfriend said. Yes, she was homophobic, but when she said, „Your brother and his boy are so freaking gayish.“, I couldn’t believe what I just read :DD Or when Koon said to Taw: „I hope you don’t cheat on me.“ UMMMM…. Well… Yes, Koon, I’m cheating with a buff version of Drake Laedeke :(

The GORE! Broo I loved the gore so much. It was brutal! A little reminder: No one in this show is a good guy. (If we don’t count Dangjai. He’s my sleepy little baby!)

I still hope we get the last episode. Please. I need to know how it's gonna end!!!
