About

You’ll like it if you enjoy gritty true-crime stories focused on people under pressure rather than nonstop action; Not for you if you want fast pacing, since viewers often call it overlong like Black Bird or The Night Of.

Pros: immense lead performances; striking prison setting; gripping real-life basis | Cons: slow pacing; stretched-out runtime; too much filler
