REVIEW: NETFLIX'S GO!: WHAT A FRUSTRATING ENDING

 Netflix's highly anticipated series GO! dropped on March 21st, and I just binge-watched it. I'm here to give you the lowdown



The show starts off predictably enough, with Siya, a talented 100m runner,
landing a track scholarship to St. Jude's. But, as we know, life's never that straightforward. The Plot Thickens Siya's friend Mandla calls him to celebrate this milestone at a club,
but the night takes a dark turn when they're involved in a fatal car accident.
Siya was driving Mandla's car, but after the hit, Mandla is unconscious.
In a panic, Siya calls his brother Shuffle, who tells him to switch Mandla to the driver's side
to make it seem like he was driving. Unbeknownst to them,
Mandla wakes up with no memory of the accident and gets wrongly accused of being the driver. The Story Unfolds As the series progresses, we see Mandla discovering the truth about the accident
and that his cousin knows about it. Meanwhile, Siya doesn't show up for his track trial
at his new school, leaving us wondering what's going on. Then there's Gabi,
the sister of the boy who died in the accident.
In a shocking twist, she asks Siya to make love roughly and films the whole thing.
We also see Gabi telling her father that she wants to show him something,
and we can only assume it's related to Siya.


The Ending: A Frustrating Cliffhanger? Here's where my enthusiasm starts to wane. The series ends abruptly,
leaving me feeling unsatisfied. With six episodes, each around 20 minutes long,
I expected a more conclusive ending. Instead, we're left with multiple cliffhangers
that feel more like unresolved plot threads. It's like Netflix is saying,
"Hey, we'll pick up where we left off... eventually." To make matters worse,
Siya ends up living with the family of the boy he killed, adding to the complexity of the plot. The Good Stuff Despite the frustrating ending, I must give credit to the amazing visuals,
clever writing, and engaging storylines. The plot twists are impressive,
and I was hooked from the start. The characters are well-developed,
and their struggles are relatable. My Rating: 7/10 Overall, I'd give GO! a solid 7/10. While it's an intriguing series with a lot of potential,
the abrupt ending left me wanting more. If you're a fan of drama, suspense,
and complex characters, you might enjoy GO!.
Just be prepared for a potentially frustrating conclusion.
