Whether this be the script or the mediocre acting, everything here just feels so perfunctory. The mystery itself is incredibly predictable and the story feels rushed, leaving many questions in its wake. I won’t spoil anything about the finale or the big plot reveals but suffice to say, the outcome lands with an indifferent shrug and a bit of headscratching rather than a triumphant blast of fanfare. All we need to know is that they’re desperate for information on a laptop, which appears to be linked to one of the other characters in town. Those names won’t mean much though given we’re not actually told who they are until the penultimate episode. There are a number of other characters who appear to either be related or play some part in what happened to Igor… or they may not.Īlongside Adam’s disappearance is another plotline involving two kidnappers, Natan and Wiera. While that in itself would be fine, Hold Tight then adds another mystery on top of that, convoluting the story and muddying the waters. Whether he is or not remains one of the consistent question in this show, but when Adam too goes missing, his parents -Anna and Michal – set to work trying to work out what it all means. As everyone attends his memorial, Igor’s best friend Adam feels guilty and believes he’s responsible for what happened. In particular, that of a boy called Igor. In typical mystery fashion, the story focuses on a death. While there are some nice ideas at work, they’re overshadowed by an overwhelming amount of mediocrity and a dragged out story with a pretty poor resolution.
Our setting here is a small Warsaw suburb, with two concurrent mysteries that interweave together to form a rather tepid 6 episode series. Hold Tight is the latest Harlan Coben adaptation and much like The Woods, takes place deep in the heart of Poland.
