About
"A true-crime chess match inside a prison"
A convicted drug dealer with a golden tongue gets a shot at early release: infiltrate a maximum-security psych ward and extract a confession from a fellow inmate suspected of being a serial killer. Based on a true story, the show is tense and claustrophobic, alternating between the two men's cat-and-mouse conversations and a detective's parallel hunt for evidence. It moves briskly for a limited series, but its real power is in the performances, quiet dread building scene by scene rather than through action or twists.
the unnervingly good lead performances, especially the suspected killer's chilling, pitiable menace.
you want fast-paced thrills rather than slow, dialogue-driven psychological tension.
