About

You may enjoy this if you like slow-burn, fact-inspired mysteries tied to real crimes and don’t mind a six-episode sprawl; Not for you if you need brisk pacing or clear answers, like in The Patient or Bates Motel.

Pros: intriguing true-crime hook; strong lead performances; moody 1960s atmosphere | Cons: slow, stretched pacing; unclear character motives; uneven payoff
