Plot:

Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
  • This is a twisting mystery that got better with each episode, though the ending is a bit bewildering. It lends itself to multiple interpretations, but even that could have been set up better as ultimately we have to accept what the series shows us at face value. Grace tells us a story and we don't know if it's true or not. Is she manipulating the characters and us? We don't know if she is lying.
