Reviews
Money is the villain, life is the battlefield
It's a cinematic slow burn but with very heavy tone and high intensity of pressure, it never stops right there, it keeps digging deeper and deeper as new hell unfolds. An ultimate fucked up business with humanity's worst shit painted in such gruesome yet classy way of storytelling, extremely nail biting trauma in every scene pushing the limits of tolerance. The right or wrong is so muddy in here everyone using evil means to survive this dogfight, where money is the villain, life is the battlefield, and human never ends a happy ending.Was this review helpful to you?
Short review ------no spoiler
While watching a model family I knew I was probably going to finish it in one go. Well almost, as I stopped at episode nine for the night and finished the rest the next morning.The writing was good, the character stick to their personality for the duration of the show, which make them more real for me.
Overall good acting from all the cast, including the children.
The story revolves around the father, who is desperate to help is family, but a chain of bad decisions made him stray from the path of the good law-abiding citizen. The consequences of his choices made senses, there is no extraordinary twist to save him. At no time I thought that the line of events was underserved, broken or not satisfactory. The story flows like water.
I only thought once that the line was weirdly delivered, stiff and lifeless, only to be explained why later. It was a part of the writing, and it comes back later for the same reason. I think it was a cool detail.
Also with the 18+ rating, you can really feel the action without weird out of place blur like some other dark shows rated for a younger audience.
