About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a straightforward, twisty “what really happened” mystery with tense questioning and messy moral choices, in the vein of Presumed Innocent; Not for you if you avoid domestic abuse themes or need airtight realism.
Pros: engrossing mystery setup; strong lead performances; tense interrogation framing | Cons: logic gaps if overthink; uneven twists; heavy abuse themes
