About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, dark political investigation that trades big thrills for realism and moral pressure, like Manorama Six Feet Under or Te3n; Not for you if you need fast pacing and light, crowd-pleasing entertainment.
Pros: gripping political mystery; strong performances; dark, realistic tone | Cons: slow pace; not very entertaining; predictable for some
