Is Under the Bridge worth watching?

Under the Bridge is a slow but moving story with two fantastic performances from Riley Keough and Lily Gladstone, so it’s worth trying.

Under the Bridge is about the case of a missing girl who was bullied.

At the time of writing, it’s rated ‘fresh‘ on Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus is that the acting is wonderful and the narrative carries important themes, but the series is plodding and vague sometimes.

Carla Meyer of The Wrap wrote, “Watching young people make one terrible decision after another eventually grows tiresome and repetitive. But the show effectively portrays how bullying can develop and escalate.”

Angie Han at The Hollywood Reporter said, “Despite some moving performances (particularly from its young cast), the writing ultimately proves too vague and too muddled in its messaging to shed new light on much of anything.”
