About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a classic hard-boiled mystery with smoky bars, corruption, and a world-weary detective voiceover, especially if you like The Long Goodbye or Lady in the Lake; Not for you if you hate tangled plots or realistic violence.
Pros: moody 1940s LA vibe; tough private-eye attitude; sharp, quotable dialogue | Cons: can feel slow; plot gets convoluted; uneven supporting turns
