Not for the faint of heart

Oof! This was a whirlwind.

I have to first applaud the cast and crew because first off, this is NOT an easy subject matter to tackle and the performances were fantastic.

To try to keep this review spoiler free, I will just say the following:

Aside from the perpetrator, his family and that WITCH of director. The show tried to show you the rawness and imperfection of human nature.

The only exception to this are the cops doing the investigation, and ML and FL (though even they have their subtle flaws) but I don’t find them hateful.

The show also emphasizes a HUGE focus on NOT staying silent. It shows the damage it can do if you choose to. And for that alone, I have this on my rewatch list.

Anyway if you have an appreciation for human nature display and justice, this one is a must watch.

Is it perfect? Far from it. There is a whole arc I could have done without, maybe two. But the commitment to the rawness of human nature was excellent. And I’m a sucker for character development and a happy ending.
