About
"A grim duel between a killer and his obsession"
A retired detective, still gutted by an unsolved mass-casualty case, gets drawn back in when the killer starts taunting him directly online. What unfolds is less whodunit than cat-and-mouse character study, built on Brendan Gleeson's world-weary lead and Harry Treadaway's chillingly banal psychopath. The pace is deliberate, favoring dread and psychological unease over jump scares or twists. Later seasons lean into stranger, more supernatural territory typical of Stephen King source material. It's moody, patient television that rewards sitting with uncomfortable people for long stretches rather than chasing thrills.
