About
You may like Cronicas if you enjoy dark, tense crime investigations with social friction and media pressure; Not for you if you want subtle storytelling or lighter thrills, and it may feel harsher than Satanas or In the Valley of Elah.
Pros: tense pursuit of a killer; raw social themes; committed atmosphere | Cons: difficult and brutal content; uneven writing; unlikable characters
