About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like unsettling thrillers with a story-within-a-story structure and strong acting, like London Spy or Quarry; Not for you if you dislike violence-centric plotlines or want a fully satisfying, straightforward mystery.

Pros: layered story-within-story; tense and gripping; strong performances | Cons: disturbing subject matter; confusing at times; plot feels uneven
