About
You may like this if you’re drawn to dry, socially minded dramas about ordinary people pushing back against unfair systems, in the vein of Dying to Survive; Not for you if you want fast pacing or a light mood.
Pros: strong central struggle; timely social themes; darkly amusing at times | Cons: slow-moving stretches; frustrating situations; emotionally distant tone
