About
You may like this if you can handle grim true-crime-inspired stories about toxic romance, desperate people, and dark humor mixed with cruelty; Not for you if you want sympathetic characters, an uplifting mood, or gentler crime drama.
Pros: gripping dark tone; strong lead performances; sharp black humor | Cons: very bleak; disturbing violence; upsetting child-related material
