About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, twisty crime story about desperate people chasing cash and making risky choices; Not for you if you prefer lighthearted drama or clear-cut heroes, and try Mask Girl for a similar edge.
Pros: tense money-driven stakes; twisty crime setup; fast-moving trouble | Cons: stressful tone throughout; morally gray choices; little downtime
