About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a slow-burn drama about complicity and personal choices under pressure, with an uneasy, reflective tone; Not for you if you need action, clear catharsis, or fast pacing like Plan A.
Pros: thought-provoking moral questions; strong lead performances; tense, uneasy atmosphere | Cons: slow, talky pacing; stagey, episodic feel; uneven emotional impact
