Grid: never bring a knife to a time war
December 21, 2024 5:19 AM - Season 1 (Full Season) - Subscribe
Grid (Korean: 그리드; RR: Geurideu) is a South Korean television series starring Seo Kang-joon, Kim Ah-joong, Kim Mu-yeol, Kim Sung-kyun, and Lee Si-young. It premiered on Disney+ on February 16, 2022 for Asia-Pacific subscribers (and is available on Starz in Canada).
A hacker in the mysterious Administration Bureau teams up with a determined police detective (is there any other kind?) to track down an even more mysterious woman who keeps appearing and disappearing. Complication: it's 2021 AD on an Earth that's been sheltered under an electronic force field (the Grid) since 2004, and the mysterious woman has something to do with that.
After way too much network TV, I am finally back with my favorite genre: timey- wimey happenings in a show that makes me figure stuff out. I haven't been this happy since Dark.
In an alternate 2021, Sae-ha (Seo Kang-Joon), an intelligence analyst for the secretive Administrationt Bureau, has a secret agenda (but then so does everyone in this show). In between caring for his elderly mother and spying on his own boss (who is, of course, spying on him), he's hunting a mysterious woman (and seems to have been hunting her for a long time). He crosses paths with Jung Sae-Byeok (played by Kim Ah-joong), a police detective and brilliant forensics scientist who is hunting a murderer who was somehow involved with that same mysterious woman.
Bonus: I love how these two hunters have to work together despite not liking or trusting each other (for good reason, obv). I'm watching this on Starz via the Disney streaming service in Canada.

I'm on the final episode now, desperately trying to remember who has experienced which timeline and which events in which order and I couldn't be happier!

Finally, here's the best explanation of the final episode and what all the timey-wimey hijinks meant that I could find.
