About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like true-crime inspired stories about audacious schemes, moral gray areas, and institutions pushed to the limit; Not for you if you want a light tone or clear-cut heroes like in Boundless.
Pros: based on real life; high-stakes cat-and-mouse; rebellious underdog vibe | Cons: loose historical approach; crime focus; limited emotional depth
