About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, dark, true-crime-tinged comedy with bungled plans and oddball characters, similar in vibe to 2 Days in the Valley; Not for you if you need consistent laughs or a lighter tone.
Pros: quirky dark-comedy premise; memorable supporting characters; plenty of twists | Cons: humor can feel uneven; some jokes in poor taste; drags in later stretch
