'Under the Bridge' is not for the faint-hearted. It tells the harrowing story of bullying that led to the death of an innocent teenager, brutally beaten by her own peers.

By the end of the series, fans are moved by the tragic story of Reena Virk. Expressing her feelings, a viewer of the show tweeted, "finished under the bridge, may Reena Virk’s killers rot in hell. Reena you will always be remembered."

"The ending of Under the bridge really made me cry," added another emotional fan.



 



 

Praising the television adaptation of one of the brutal crimes, a fan said on X, "Watching Under The Bridge last ep and that scene plays "I Always Love You" by Donna Lewis OMG I NEED FANFICS OF THIS!!!!!! PS completely broke me, painful story, gray characters, all incredibly well done. Pffff i want more Gladstone and Keugh in other projects."



 

Discussing the nuances of the show, a fan wrote that "the actress that plays Kelly Ellard in Under the Bridge is honestly way too good that she genuinely terrified me, no wonder Lily Gladstone was intimidated by all these kids on set."

Another fan added, "The way the justice system gave this b-tch Kelly Ellard aka Kerry Sim so many chances at life because of her “connections” is sickening. (Just finished Under The Bridge and wow…)".



 



 

An impressed fan called 'Under the Bridge' "exceptional" while another labeled its finale episode as "gut-wrenching."

"I just finished under the bridge on Hulu. LORD I didn’t expect to literally cry when it ended, Reena didn’t deserve that, idc how dumb her choices were, she was 14 we all make dumb decisions, and I genuinely HATE that I’m seeing REAL PEOPLE blame HER for her death," reviewed another fan moved by Reena Virk's story.
