About
"Gorgeous refugee-fantasy noir that trips over its own metaphors"
In a Victorian-flavored city, mythical refugees fleeing a magical war crowd into a human metropolis that both needs and despises them. A human detective with a hidden past reconnects with a fae woman he loved during the war, just as a string of gruesome murders exposes the city's rot. The show mixes noir mystery with lush fantasy world-building and heavy-handed allegory about xenophobia and refugees. It's moody, visually sumptuous, and slow-burning, carried more by atmosphere and production design than by tight plotting, with a tone that swings between pulpy melodrama and genuine political ache.
