About

If you enjoy slow-burn mysteries that double as intense relationship dramas, this should land, especially if you liked Broadchurch or Lone Star; Not for you if you want fast action, clear-cut answers, or a lighter mood.

Pros: gripping human drama; interwoven mysteries; strong performances | Cons: slow first hour; heavy, humorless tone; coincidences feel forced
