About
You may like this if you enjoy gentle supernatural dramas about grief and connection, especially if Before We Vanish or If Cats Disappeared from the World worked for you; Not for you if you want fast pacing or big thrills.
Pros: gentle supernatural premise; emotional road-trip story; reflective atmosphere | Cons: very quiet pace; understated drama; limited action
