About
You may enjoy this if you like slow-burn psychological mysteries that focus on doubt, perception, and uneasy suspicion more than action, with a vibe some compare to The Sinner; Not for you if you want clear answers and big thrills.
Pros: strong lead performances; thought-provoking premise; steady mystery hook | Cons: slow and repetitive; low tension payoff; ending feels unclear
