About

"A moral gray zone dressed as a thriller"

A broke, aimless college student accidentally kills a stranger in self-defense, only to discover the man was a secret serial killer. When he starts being hailed online as a vigilante, he keeps getting pulled into more killings while a sharp, obsessive detective grows convinced something's off about this string of dead criminals. The show mixes dark comedy with crime-thriller tension, moving briskly and leaning on its two leads' chemistry and moral-grey-area storytelling rather than shock value. It's stylish, twisty, and more thoughtful than its premise suggests.

Watch it for

the cat-and-mouse chemistry between the accidental killer and the detective hunting him.

Maybe skip if

you want a straightforward, morally clean crime story without dark comedy undertones.
