About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, twisty crime thriller about corruption and a high-stakes investigation, especially if you liked Millennium; Not for you if you dislike bleak subject matter or stories that feel like a middle chapter.

Pros: gripping conspiracy mystery; strong lead performance; steady suspense | Cons: less intense than predecessor; uneven pacing at times; ending feels abrupt
