About

You may enjoy this if you like prison thrillers with undercover missions, corruption, and nonstop twists in the vein of El Chema or False Identity; Not for you if implausible plotting and soapy drama quickly take you out of a show.

Pros: gripping premise; tense prison setting; easy binge appeal | Cons: often unrealistic; uneven acting; rushed storytelling
