Summary

68% Informative

The four -part Netflix drama/thriller follows the lives of a family whose 13-year-old son is accused of murdering a classmate.

The show establishes its highly stressful tone early on with a dawn raid.

It's TV at its most anxiety-inducing, somehow made even more intense by the unrelenting one -shot format.
