Critics

Audience

After receiving a serious cancer diagnosis, a chemistry teacher grows determined to protect his family’s financial future. He enters the dangerous drug trade, where fearlessness, ambition, and criminal pressures pull him into an increasingly perilous life.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like tense crime dramas, morally complicated characters, and slow-building stories such as Better Call Saul or The Wire; Not for you if you need fast pacing or constant action.
