Is Fake Profile worth watching?

Fake Profile doesn’t have a Rotten Tomatoes score right now, but early reviews have been mixed.

Leisure Bytewrote: “From drama and action to emotional sequences, the show contains every element to make it more than entertaining… it contains major plot twists that will definitely leave you utterly shocked. With the addition of steamy and sensual scenes, it can be compared to the 365 Days trilogy but with a better plot.”

However,Digital Mafia Talkieswrote: “The fact remains that though Fake Profile is moderately interesting, there really isn’t much to it… you wouldn’t be wasting your time if you decided to watch it. You might want to do that at one-and-a-half times the speed, but it is still good enough for a lazy Sunday.”

Martin Cid Magazinealso wrote: “In the end, a fairly commercial but entertaining product that, given the reception of 365, promises to be a success in the same line. But with the plus that Fake Profile has a way better plot than those three movies.”
