About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a dark, twisty sci-fi murder mystery with plenty of violence and adult content, and you like the vibe of The Killing; Not for you if you want a light, straightforward crime show.
Pros: bold sci-fi concept; fast-moving mystery; stylish cyberpunk atmosphere | Cons: uneven execution; weak dialogue at times; later episodes disappoint
