Maybe this kind of thriller isn’t my thing. I enjoyed the ride generally, but I didn’t quite feel the urgency, it felt a little slower than I anticipated. 

Sometimes the characters made…interesting choices.
It’s a kind of case of everyone sucks here to be honest. I didn’t quite find the ending satisfying? I don’t know there’s something I can’t quite put my finger on that made me feel like the ending wasn’t deserved but that might just be my personal bias against capital punishment.


I enjoyed it generally but also felt like it dragged in places. I liked the premise and a good whodunnit but I didn’t feel particularly invested at the end which might be why I wasn’t crazy about the ending.
