About
If you enjoy tense, conspiracy-tinged thrillers with dangerous missions and a steadily rising sense of paranoia, this should fit; Not for you if you want a light, feel-good story or low-stress viewing like Okkupert or Wisting.
Pros: tense underwater danger; strong suspense build; high-stakes mission | Cons: grim tone; stressful peril; limited light moments
