3/5
In truth, most of Karma’s consequences are not all that unpredictable, but as the tapestry of ill-fated connections thickens between the central sextet, there is plenty of fun to be had. Go to Full Review

Karma has the potential to be a fine series with intertwining plots, but it could also be an exercise in frustration, depending on how long those plots take to develop. Go to Full Review

4/5
This isn’t always an easy watch, especially with the large amount of scheming from sketchy individuals, but the reward of the story shows that while it may not be swift or exactly how we desire, Karma will always come back and even the score. Go to Full Review

Karma delivers on mystery and intrigue from beginning to end. While only six episodes long, it’s among the most satisfying watches of 2025. Go to Full Review

Karma (2025) weaves a tangled web that should fascinate. Instead, in its attempts to add intrigue, the storyline becomes overcomplicated. Go to Full Review

Will H. @hanwill Feb 3 relied too much on shock value. whole 6 people from different walks of life being entangled in the same problem plot was not very compelling. See more Ian S @cyclosimian Jul 28 Implausible situations, plot holes, huge leaps of faith, coincidences galore, and overacting throughout. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 23 6 successful episodes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Korean and American English audio options with American English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Dionne L @RT07110448 Jun 21 I absolutely loved this! The twists were so intricate and meaningful. I had to rewatch a couple of scenes and when I did, the full nuance of the details of Karma's brutality of paying back every cent owed was jaw dropping. I loved it. See more yo a @RT61694401 06/04/2025 Very hard watch especially on the second episode where almost everybody acts like actual children with no developed cognitive thinking, grown men acting so emotional and childish is so annoying and forced, my god. If this continues in the next episodes i won't continue watching for sure.. good storyline tho by now See more Nick T @RT31354873 05/10/2025 It's the best series of 2025 so far. First two episodes slowly built the story, then it picked up really fast. Great acting from all actors and I was really engaged throughout the show. It's beautiful how everything comes together at the end. Definitely recommend. See more Read all reviews
