​At the beginning of the series, there were details regarding abuse that really caught my interest. However, as the show progressed, these details surfaced far too late. Moreover, the overwhelming male dominance in the cast was a major disappointment for me. The romance between the two female leads was given very little screen time. It felt like these elements were suddenly shoehorned into the 6th or 7th episodes as an afterthought because the show wasn't gaining enough traction. In that regard, the series failed. While the premise is excellent, the opening is perfect, and there are several compelling scenes along with a stellar cast and atmosphere—the overall execution felt slow and aimless.
​The most positive thing I can say about the series is how well it portrays the power struggle. None of the characters are truly "good." Naturally, people involved in such schemes would harbor some level of darkness within them. I'm actually glad the series was short; enduring this much toxic masculinity for 16 episodes would have been incredibly difficult.
