Hold Tight, based on a novel of the same name written by Harlan Coben, dropped on Netflix on the 22nd of April and it has been in Netflix’s top 10 most-streamed non-English TV series. Only in the week between 25 April and 1 May, the show was watched for a total of 25.12 million hours. The amount of success doesn’t mean that we are going to see a Season 2 for Hold Tight because the series was designed as a mini-series with only 6 episodes.
Although the show received some good ratings, it didn’t get positive reviews from critics who usually said that the story of the series was rushed off, and the script and the acting were mediocre at best. Hold Tight currently has a 6.1 rating on IMDb and an 18% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Let’s get to know the Hold Tight cast members who are accused of delivering bad performances.
Leszek Lichota
In the series, a teenager named Adam gets lost right after one of his friends is found dead. So, his mother Anna starts to search for his son.

The 42-year-old Polish actor is known for his various roles in numerous productions, including 3xLove (2016), Lincz (2010), and Corpus Christi (2019).

Krzysztof Oleksyn
Oleksyn plays the teenager, Adam, who is missing and whose mother is searching for him. He is only 24 years old so he has been active in the show business only in recent years. He is known for playing in the tv series The Mire (2018- ) and the movie Wesele (2021). The actor is not really known by international audiences and it seems like he’s not really famous in Poland yet as well.
