About
You may enjoy this if you like grim, adult-leaning mysteries with messy characters and a slow-burn unraveling, similar to Along Came a Spider or Kiss the Girls; Not for you if you want fast pacing, high suspense, or likable leads.
Pros: strong lead performance; intriguing central mystery; twisty story beats | Cons: slow, confusing start; low tension overall; bleak, unpleasant tone
