Pretty decent but underwhelming

The show's first half is a really good watch! I enjoyed the suspense and the way the backstory is slowly communicated to us. I think the reveals are also mostly well done.

The highlight for me, is definitely Anzu and Yuzu's relationship. It adds an emotional anchor that helps the story resonate.

But I feel the ending is so...half baked. Like it severely underdelivers on the ending. Some stories benefit from sticking to the premise and being straightforward, this is one of them.

Edit: read another review that reminded me how classist and elitist the show is and I have to concur. This show really hates poor people and is very uncharitable in its depiction on the impact of living in poverty.
