Collider recommends Netflix’s Thai thriller Master of the House as a darker, more disturbing alternative to Knives Out, combining a patriarch’s death with a bitter family battle for inheritance. The article argues that its stylish presentation and increasingly shocking depiction of greed, control and betrayal make it compelling, despite its upsetting content.

The story centres on wealthy household head Roongroj and his attendant Kaimook, whose unusually close relationship is established early when he invites her opinion during an argument with his sons. According to the article, the series blends a murder-mystery setup with Succession-style rivalry, and includes sexual assault, murder and manipulation before reaching what the writer considers a highly satisfying ending.
