Is it for me?
It is a family grief drama for viewers who want a crime told from the side of the people left behind, not a case file. Expect a hard watch, respectful rather than lurid. Every attempt by police and psychologists to get the boy talking costs him something. Jordan Bolger plays the father caught between them and his son.
Before you start
It jumps back and forth in time but moves at a brisk pace, so it works well in one sitting.
1 season, 3 episodes, 51 min each, about 3 hours so far
