About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darkly funny crime story that turns surprisingly warm, with quirky characters and flashes of brutality; Not for you if you dislike violent comedy or uneven tones like in Adam's Apples.
Pros: sharp black humor; touching friendship beats; memorable oddball moments | Cons: tonal whiplash at times; some naive characters; uneven subplot payoff
