The desperation and bad decisions of Breaking Bad meets the creepy supernatural vibe of The X-Files meets the slow burn storytelling with political commentary of Silvia Moreno-Garcia... which is just to say this was right up my alley. This is definitely genre bending- some noir, horror, and thriller. Some of those scenes were so gruesome I would be covering my eyes for them if it was a movie, so now I am still waiting for them to leave my brain haha, so definitely not for those that don't like a bit of gore.
