  • Kaisley Walsh
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
    Rating: 1.5

  • Sariyah Taylor
    The plot was full of holes, and the acting felt forced. I had higher expectations.

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
