It’s a bloated viewing experience, despite its enticing start and satisfying ending. A case of one too many twists, Mousetrap is a lesson that sometimes less is more. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider Aug 31, 2026

Cynthia M @CYNTHIA111 Sep 6, 2026 Noja and police team were the ones that brought me the series till the end. Shoutout to the actor who played Noja!!!!! The storyline is interesting.
