Prime Video’s Thriller ‘Fear’ Faces Criticism for Implausible Plot and Execution

The three-part series, starring Martin Compston and Anjli Mohindra, has drawn attention for its far-fetched storyline and polarizing reception.

‘Fear’ follows a family who moves to Glasgow and faces turmoil after their downstairs neighbor begins exhibiting disturbing behavior.
The show has been criticized for its implausible twists, including a rushed and convoluted conclusion that undermines its serious themes.
Despite the outlandish narrative, performances by Martin Compston and Solly McLeod have been praised for adding emotional depth to their characters.
The series explores heavy topics such as false accusations and past trauma but has been faulted for failing to handle them with the necessary sensitivity or coherence.
While the premise had potential, critics have described the series as a missed opportunity due to its inconsistent tone and lackluster execution.
