dark
mysterious
sad
tense
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
3.5
the buildup pulls you in, but the reveals feel more like a trick than a gut punch. atmosphere carries, execution stumbles, but the lingering unease? that stays. ❤
Graphic: Child death and Mental illness
Moderate: Racial slurs and Grief
