Bet Review: Miku Martineau Shines in a Flawed, Flashy World

In the ever-expanding atlas of streaming content, where narratives are increasingly globalized and familiar intellectual properties are frequently re-engineered for new audiences, “Bet” arrives as a glossy, high-stakes drama. The series ushers viewers into the rarified air of St. Dominic’s Prep, an institution less concerned with pedagogy and more with poker faces.
Here, adolescent ambition and parental fortunes collide, for the school’s entire pecking order, from the revered elite to the subjugated “house pets,” is determined not by academic merit but by the brutal calculus of high-stakes gambling.
Into this meticulously stratified ecosystem steps Yumeko, a transfer student whose disarming smile and seemingly insatiable appetite for risk conceal a far more calculated agenda: a deeply personal quest for retribution. Her arrival promises to unravel the established order, setting the stage for a series of intense psychological duels and precarious alliances, where every wager carries the weight of ruin or reign.
