About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional, often uplifting drama about loss, family, and finding meaning, with a citywide quest structure similar in spirit to A Man Called Otto or Fatherhood; Not for you if you dislike tear-jerkers or slow starts.

Pros: deeply moving grief journey; uplifting community spirit; strong child performance | Cons: slow early stretch; heavy tear-jerker tone; premise strains credibility
