About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, fast-moving battle of geniuses with moral gray areas and nonstop suspense; Not for you if you dislike grim themes or lots of plotting—try Erased or Steins;Gate for a similar hook.
Pros: high-stakes mind games; constant tension; big moral questions | Cons: uneven later stretch; some annoying side characters; divisive final run
