About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grim, darkly comic crime drama about second chances and bad decisions, with a steady downward pull; Not for you if you dislike bleak stories, messy characters, or a plot that can feel disorienting, like Come to Daddy.
Pros: darkly funny edge; strong supporting cast; tense crime spiral | Cons: bleak tone; confusing relationships; uneven lead performance
