About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense psychological drama about therapy, memory, and questioning what’s real, with steady suspense; Not for you if you dislike mind-bending stories or twisty plotting like Black Coal, Thin Ice.
Pros: gripping psychological tension; emotional therapy focus; unpredictable turns | Cons: occasional believability hiccup; one casting distraction
