About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, fact-based drama about workplace power, whistleblowing, and justice under pressure; Not for you if you dislike talky political stories or unsettling assault themes, like in The Crimson Rivers.
Pros: gripping true-story stakes; strong lead performance; sharp institutional critique | Cons: slow early setup; very talky at times; investigation feels rushed
