About
You may like this if you want tense, talk-provoking drama about family conflict and moral gray areas, especially if you prefer the Australian version over The Slap (2015); Not for you if you want fast pacing or easy comfort viewing.
Pros: provocative premise; layered relationships; emotionally intense | Cons: very slow pace; unlikeable characters; intrusive narration
