About

"Slow-burn Vietnam-era noir with real dread"

In 1972 Memphis, a Vietnam vet returns home only to find himself unemployable and shunned, a killer in the eyes of his neighbors even as the government wants to make him one again. Recruited into the criminal underworld as a contract killer, he tries to hold onto whatever's left of himself and his marriage. The show is moody, slow-burn Southern noir, gorgeously shot and scored, more interested in dread and atmosphere than shootouts. It rewards patience with a tactile sense of place and a quietly devastating lead performance.

Watch it for

the atmosphere, period detail, and Logan Marshall-Green's quietly wrecked lead performance.

Maybe skip if

you want fast plotting or need a story that actually gets to finish.
