Reset (Season 1)

Reset (开端, 2022) is a Chinese sci-fi thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A college student and a video game designer board an ordinary city bus — and the bus blows up. Then they wake back at the start of the same ride, again, with no idea why.

The loop won't let them out until they figure out who planted the bomb and what they want. Every cycle buys them a little more: another passenger's face memorized, another lie caught, another guess tested before the clock runs out. Zhao Jinmai and Bai Jingting play two strangers forced into a partnership, slowly turning a busload of suspects into a puzzle they have to solve together. Nobody on that bus is just background — each rider carries something worth hiding.

Across fifteen episodes the show keeps a near-thriller pace and uses its time-loop as a detective tool rather than a gimmick. The repetition tightens the screws instead of wearing thin, which is exactly what makes it click for fans of smart, contained suspense. Stream Reset (2022) online on iFILM.
