A Fresh Take on the Investigative Genre

I really enjoyed this. It is grouped under Supernatural Detective and Mystery under my mid-autumn recommendations: features that center around mysteries that the characters solve. Most of them have supernatural premises that have non-fiction explanations.

I thought it was a fresh take on the investigative genre. The art direction and cinematography were well done. I thought it elevated the story by making scenes visually striking and mysterious. And I loved the investigative team and how they gradually came together, with special attention to the leads and their support. All 26 episodes revolve around a central crime that becomes increasingly complex, layered with additional players and new developments—like a crime within a crime, with multiple culprits. Although it ends on a cliffhanger, I wasn’t mad about it—I just wish there were another season.

Note: While there are no explicit scenes or visual depictions, there is mention of SA, so a trigger warning is advised.
