You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded crime drama with family loyalty, guilt, and mounting pressure rather than constant action; Not for you if you need a tidy payoff or hate small continuity hiccups, like in Scenic Route.
Pros: grounded small-town drama; strong performances; tense crime elements | Cons: uneven script; continuity distractions; ending feels abrupt
