TL;DR

Dying horrendously because you get good grades feels a bit MUCH.

What it's about

A new teacher's arrival coincides with the growing number of deaths in the school. With one student's help, can they find the culprit?

The take

True to its name, Enigma opens with a student sharpening a pencil menacingly before ferociously stabbing a teacher. Encased by stunning visuals, the story gets severely darker when another student troubled by an unseen entity drowns in a swimming pool. Farinda, a daydreamer who's undeniably intelligent, notices that the incidents coincide with the presence of the new clumsy biology teacher, Mr Ajin. Superb transitions and editing and a solid dose of gore strengthen the underlying criticism of rigid schools that stifle their students from experiencing more than just good grades. It'll be hard not to watch the [dark] magic continue to unfold.

What stands out

The editing and directing team did a great job keeping the visuals of the series dynamic. Sweeping transitions, sharp glass imagery, and tight mysterious blocking in flashbacks are the tip of the bloody magical iceberg. Many sequences have an experimental vibe that caters to the scene making the production its own enigma. And kudos to Win Metawin and Prim Chanikarn for leading the show with amazing performances.
