About
You may like this if you want a tense, human-scale political drama about loyalty and impossible choices, especially if you connected with Out in the Dark or Lemon Tree; Not for you if you want something light or fast-moving.
Pros: tense moral conflict; strong emotional pull; timely political backdrop | Cons: stressful atmosphere; bleak tone; little lightness
