About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a grounded, ominous true-crime drama focused on suspicion and institutional failures rather than big thrills; Not for you if you dislike slow burns or prefer punchier cases like Boston Strangler.
Pros: strong lead performances; eerie slow-burn tension; gripping true-crime hook | Cons: very slow pace; uneven writing; too dark visuals
