About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want dramatized true-crime stories with big public cases, moral gray areas, and occasional non-linear storytelling; Not for you if you dislike violence or prefer strictly factual retellings like Flint Town.
Pros: gripping true-crime cases; strong performances; tense, bingeable pacing | Cons: uneven season quality; confusing timeline jumps; feels speculative at times
