Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for crime-drama fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved A Good Girl's Guide to Murder or Riverdale, start here.
The mood
Tense, dark and gritty.
The pace
One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two.
What might put you off
Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.

Chloe moves in New York's most elite circles with her lawyer husband Adam and teenage son Ethan by her side while her estranged sister Nicky tries to make ends meet and stay clean. When Adam is brutally murdered, the investigation sends shockwaves through the family and exposes long-buried secrets.
