About
If you enjoy character-driven crime dramas about risk, loyalty, and underground hustles, this should hit the spot, especially if you like the power-play tension of Billions; Not for you if poker talk and slow-burn stretches frustrate you.
Pros: tense poker drama; strong performances; gritty underworld vibe | Cons: heavy poker jargon; uneven pacing; some predictable beats
