Reviews (1)
An interesting take on the crime genre, where the investigation of murders essentially stays within the interrogation room, unfolding into a solid conversational and minimalist drama. The first story intrigued me primarily because of the excellent David Tennant. The script is cleverly written, and I thoroughly enjoyed every dialogue with the camera focused either on the detectives or the suspect. And the final resolution, backed by impactful music? It's unconventional but effective, and an attractive ending for me as a viewer. We'll see what comes next. I give it 83%.
