Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it

• This is a slow burn as Wilfred's crimes slowly gnaw at him.  His attempt at keeping everything ends with his losing it all. It's part The Tell-tale Heart with a dash of a morality via an O. Henry story type ending. This isn't about the crime, but the ramifications that follow.

Read my full review.
