About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn mystery thriller about a too-perfect town with uneasy traditions and rising tension; Not for you if you hate deliberate pacing or need clear answers, like in The Night Listener.
Pros: eerie small-town atmosphere; steady mystery tension; intriguing central premise | Cons: very slow pacing; low-budget TV feel; thin explanations
