This was on my Netflix main page and when I first clicked on it, I thought I was watching the trailer of a show that was newly announced but not yet released. 5 minutes later I finally realised I was actually watching the show. The late 80's early 90's music and vibe kinda drew me in and I figured I'd give it a chance despite knowing absolutely nothing about the show..
I binged watched all 4 episodes back to back after that. It was so good I couldn't stop watching.
It kinda reminds me of HBOs "the night of". It's an incredibly sad and heart wrenching series based on a real event. I don't know how much of it is dramatised but it's absolutely brilliant. The acting is incredible.
My only issue with the show is some of the artistic choices made on how it was filmed / edited. Half the show looks washed out or like someone smeared Vaseline over the screen.
Other than that it's brilliant though.
EDIT: when I first reviewed this, it had a 7.5 or something. Right bow it has a 9 which is in my opinion a very fair score maybe a tiny bit too high. So I removed "deserves a higher score" from my title
