About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, straightforward true-crime manhunt focused on investigation and testimony rather than big surprises; Not for you if sexual violence themes, bleak mood, or a standard police-procedural style aren’t your thing.
Pros: strong lead performances; tense true-crime hook; bleak Alaska atmosphere | Cons: uneven pacing; shallow character depth; disturbing subject matter
