Summary
From the outset, it was evident that this would be an intriguing story, and what made it even more captivating was my deliberate decision not to research the true events beforehand. Initially, the show held its ground and kept my interest intact through the first few episodes. However, as it progressed, it began to lose its grip and became rather haphazard. Each character seemed like a potential suspect, but the resolution of certain plot points was left hanging, resulting in numerous unsolved mysteries and frustrating plot holes. It felt like I was stuck on an endless merry-go-round, going in circles without any clear direction or resolution in sight. The lack of a cohesive narrative eventually spoiled the experience for me. Despite my hopes that the show would redeem itself as it reached the end, it failed to do so. The overall watch was just okay, but I doubt I would consider watching it again. It left me with a sense of disappointment that overshadowed its potential.
