About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty crime drama focused on family loyalty and simmering tension more than constant thrills; Not for you if you dislike slow-burn conflict or bleak, messy relationships like in Dossier K.
Pros: gritty, dark mood; strong lead performance; tense late escalation | Cons: strained dialogue; uneven pacing; dreary overall feel
