About
Watch it for a suspenseful, conversation-driven true crime deep dive if you’re drawn to HBO-style investigations; Not for you if you want a light, purely objective mystery, or if you dislike similar true-crime series like Making a Murderer and The Staircase.
Pros: gripping true-crime pace; real access interviews; stays edge-of-seat | Cons: repetitive talking-heads; occasional biased tone; slow in places
