About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like grounded, slow-burn crime investigations that focus on the toll a case takes on a team, like Black Spot or Only the Animals; Not for you if you want fast action or tidy closure.
Pros: tense procedural focus; strong lead performance; dark humor touches | Cons: bleak subject matter; frustrating lack of answers; ending may disappoint
