The Story
A desperate man with a gambling debt hires someone to kill his father so he can use his father's life insurance to pay off loan sharks.

And one woman finds herself with a chance to get revenge for a past trauma that has haunted her her whole life. But nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted in this dangerous game of life and death.
'Karma' is a twisted tale of violence and revenge.
My Personal Thoughts and Ratings
'Karma' is a dark thriller that revolves around a group of dangerous strangers who are only interested in getting rich and staying alive. The short 6 episode format makes the drama easily bingeable. The writing is tight and the pacing is steady and consistent. I loved the way this drama was able to weave such a complex set of characters together in unexpected ways. Each twist and turn pulls the web of fate tighter in a truly satifying way.
Like many thrillers of this kind, it won't be for everyone. It is violent and bloody simply for violence's sake. Don't expect any of these characters to show a shred of human decency or morality. They are bad people doing terrible things. I think I would have liked a little more time to get to know some of the characters. But for me, I thoroughly enjoyed the great writing and the cast is outstanding. I give 'Karma' an 8 out of 10.
