An amazing descent into annihilated and compromised morality. Abounding with complex characters, and hidden plot levels.
It takes the dare of repeatedly skipping forward briefly in time, making us catch up and fill in pieces, pieces that we do fill in. But the result is an acceleration of time that allows the makers to focus on the unfolding and deepening horror.
It deeply explores how trauma redirects the moral compass. It's also a great murder mystery. A great detective story. It's rich and complex. Intensely emotional. In many ways almost as powerful as Silence of the Lambs, but more of an ensemble piece. We see the evil in supposed heroes and the innocence in supposed villains. We see unredeemed evil incarnate and total heroism.
All in all, quite a ride.
