Action thriller to uncover a corrupt conspiracy. The story has several gaps and the writing is a bit lazy, but it manages to create a few tense moments and, if one suspends disbelief, is somewhat entertaining.
⚠️ Warning: Spoilers
In episode 3 we’re showing a device with encrypted information. The information shown appears to be salacious information about drug use and sexual abuse. Although we’re later given a plausible explanation, at this point it feels like lazy writing.
The developing love story is about the least convincing story I’ve seen in a while.
The twists in Episode 4 are very lame. He’s going to shoot himself, but… decides not to. But then he does! But then it’s a blank! But then he didn’t know it was a blank!
So, yeah, can’t recommend it too highly, but not terrible either.

The visuals are convincing and the atmosphere immersive —beautiful landscapes glazed with the dark surrealism one can expect from the Coen brothers. 2026-11-06
