I really like this series so far. Sure, it is edgy, but the whole Warhammer universe is.
Besides the cyberpunk aesthetics of the Necromunda tabletop games, the theme is also heavily inspired by the detective noir genre. There are lots of internal monologues and a protagonist is burned-out character, which is a noir staple. Morally awful things happen in the story; basically anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Like in a Max Payne videogame.
The black and white art style perfectly blends to this. Because of the style, the animation feel retro a bit, but it is contributing ot the atmosphere. I also like the voice of Phillip Sacramento.
You shouldn't expect something groundbreaking or high budget, like Arcane. But for a Warhammer it is a must watch series. Unfortunately, it is only available on Warhammer+, which has a bad reputation. I would give a higher rating otherwise.
