About

"Atmospheric dread over tidy detective-show answers"

Two Dublin detectives, Rob and Cassie, catch a murder case that eerily echoes an unsolved childhood tragedy from Rob's own past. Adapted from Tana French's novels, the show weaves present-day investigation with buried trauma, building a heavy, atmospheric sense of dread rather than a tidy procedural. It's slow, moody, and psychologically knotty, more interested in memory and guilt than in twists. The performances and rain-soaked visuals carry long stretches where plot momentum stalls, rewarding patience but frustrating anyone wanting quick answers or a clean resolution.

Watch it for

the way childhood trauma and a present murder case slowly bleed into each other.

Maybe skip if

you want a clean procedural with satisfying answers by the finale.
