About
You may like this if you’re drawn to bleak, slow-burn crime stories with a lonely, poetic feel, especially if Blues Harp or Bullet Ballet worked for you; Not for you if you want fast action or a lighter mood.
Pros: haunting atmosphere; poetic mood; dark thriller tension | Cons: very slow pace; oppressive tone; sparse storytelling
