About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a campy, spooky detective romp with supernatural cases and a strong queer cast; Not for you if you can’t stand the tone of Dead Boy Detectives or you prefer something more straightforward like The Exorcist.

Pros: dark mysteries; witty banter; queer representation | Cons: some leads don’t land; witch villain concerns; location/humor mismatch
