About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, funny series that mixes tense crime situations with heartfelt character moments; Not for you if you dislike violent themes or antihero leads, and it may scratch a Dexter-like itch.
Pros: laugh-out-loud dark humor; surprising emotional weight; bingeable, twisty episodes | Cons: frequent violence; tone shifts later; some find it uneven
