More holes tha a Swiss cheese

The premise of this series is so ridiculous that I couldn’t stop watching. I kept waiting for it to fall apart, but instead it kept pulling me in because I genuinely wanted to know where it was headed. A killer who couldn’t kill and a cop who couldn’t arrest, it sounds like the setup for a dark comedy, yet somehow the series makes it work. More than once I found myself wondering who was really in control.

The chemistry between the leads doesn’t hit immediately, but once it does, the performances improve dramatically. They’re complete opposites, and while that usually makes for an easy dynamic, this series takes a more unconventional route. Their relationship develops in unexpected ways, making every interaction feel like another piece of a much larger puzzle.

The biggest strength of the show is that it constantly makes you question what you’re seeing. You know there’s a twist coming long before it’s revealed, but you can’t quite put your finger on it. Watching it felt like walking into a game of charades where everyone else already knew the answer, and I was the only one trying to figure out the rules. That lingering sense of uncertainty kept me invested until the very end.

It’s not a perfect series, but it’s different and sometimes that’s enough to make it memorable..
