No Doubts Whatsoever!
If you are after a drama series that will keep you invested and on your toes then this might be the one for you.I feel it is well paced, but it may depend on the viewer.
Two episodes in and it has all of the following:
Crime
Murder
Psychological
Suspense
Mysterious
Melodrama
Family
Estranged relationships
There isn't much gore, but you will see a few crime scenes, also, you may have to put your thinking cap on.
If you have read the synopsis it is about a father dealing with a murder case in which he suspects his teenage daughter is somehow connected.
There is something about her that seems off for sure, but she is highly intelligent and I wonder if there is more to her than meets the eye.
Whatever it is mightn't be as bad as we are lead to believe like her father's suspicions and what have you.
Am enjoying the ride so far and hope the suspense and good storytelling continues.
Before I forget, the music is very thematic and suits the scenes perfectly.
I think there are 10 episodes all in all so plan to watch them as long as it keeps up the suspense.

A good pyschological thriller but definitely not for everyone.....
"The Doubt is a compelling psychological thriller that offers a unique take on the genre. The story revolves around a criminal profiler who finds himself entangled in a case that unexpectedly connects to his daughter. As he uncovers clues, he grapples with the unsettling possibility of his daughter's involvement, creating a tension-filled narrative that explores trust and doubt.
What sets The Doubt apart is its deliberate pacing. Unlike many thrillers that rely on constant action and adrenaline, this drama rather opts for a more measured approach. The suspense builds gradually, allowing for a deep exploration of the characters and their motivations. The daughter, portrayed as a mysterious figure, adds layers of complexity, keeping viewers guessing about her true intentions.
The storytelling in this drama is slow, and I think it's intentional to build up the suspense and mystery surrounding the plot and the characters. Despite the slow pace, a lot can happen in a moment. It has this laid-back vibe that keeps you calm but intrigued by how the events unfold.
The characters are interestingly written. The dad can seemingly read a lot of criminals' minds but struggles to understand his own daughter's, reflecting their strained relationship. The daughter looks suspicious from the first glance; she’s secretive, smart, and a planner but also a loner. Her blank look at times shows a lack of feelings, adding to the intrigue. The side characters introduced for the murder case are also well-developed, with their stories connecting to the main plot, which I find interesting.
The acting is undoubtedly impressive. The overall production, the gloomy cinematography, the soundtracks, and everything else contribute to a great viewing experience.
However, When I say this drama isn't for everyone, I mean that some might find it slow or boring, and others may not appreciate the laid-back vibe. But if you’re looking for a good psychological thriller that’s thought-provoking and keeps you guessing with strong acting and interesting characters, then you should definitely check it out.
Note:
The Doubt may not appeal to everyone. Its slow-burn style may frustrate those seeking a fast-paced thrill ride. But for those who appreciate a psychological exploration of relationships and the intricacies of trust, this drama is definitely worth watching.

Doubtful
The characters in Doubt are monotone and boring. Maybe the director is tryong to create a certain tone for the show. To me, it just adds to the show being drawn out and not very intriguing. Each episode is much of the same. I keep hoping it will get better because I really liked the ML in Dr Romantic. I will keep watching until the end and hope the ending episodes will have me wanting to retract this review.Was this review helpful to you?
