- One for anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and fans of newsroom stories. Nobody is quite who they seem. Same wavelength as No Way Out. It's about the digging, and what it costs to get the story.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 1 min. Done before bedtime.
