About

You’ll like this if you enjoy tense psychological mysteries like You or Presumed Innocent, with paranoia and mind games; Not for you if you need fast pacing or a fresh genre reinvention.

Pros: uneasy atmosphere; bingeable suspicion; strong performances | Cons: familiar mystery beats; stretched middle turns; exhausting intensity
