About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense true-crime story that also digs into racism, policing, and media pressure, in the vein of McMillion$; Not for you if you want light viewing or simple whodunits.
Pros: gripping real-life case; strong historical context; urgent social questions | Cons: heavy subject matter; upsetting racial profiling; intense media scrutiny
