About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like dark humor, morally messy leads, and offbeat crime stories with a small-town feel, somewhere between Imposters and Elsbeth; Not for you if slow starts or grim comedy put you off.

Pros: dark Irish humor; clever premise; twisty small-town tension | Cons: uneven pacing; distracting side story; forced quirky tone
