About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like long-form true crime that digs into alleged misconduct and keeps you questioning what’s fair, similar to The Keepers or Wild Wild Country; Not for you if you want a balanced, neatly wrapped account.
Pros: gripping real-life mystery; binge-worthy courtroom tension; sparks debate | Cons: feels one-sided; can run long; emotionally heavy
