About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, slow-building crime drama about compromise, secrets, and consequences, with steady tension rather than constant action; Not for you if you need fast pacing or neat closure like Hawaii Five-0.

Pros: tense slow-burn drama; compelling lead performances; intriguing moral gray areas | Cons: uneven pacing midseason; some plot leaps; casting authenticity concerns
