I was invested from start to finish, partly I think due to the story and partly to the storytelling and Daunis’s perspective. I think Daunis’s perspective and voice as someone who distrusts law enforcement, as just a person wanting to help her community and tribe and using her own history and knowledge to do it, make it much more complex and engaging than a typical crime-solving drama.
