Critics

Audience

An exceptionally gifted student discovers a mysterious notebook that can kill anyone whose name is written inside. Determined to eliminate criminals and reshape the world, he begins a dangerous campaign while a brilliant detective works to uncover the person behind the deaths.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy intense psychological battles, morally complex characters, and dark supernatural stories, especially if you liked Erased; Not for you if you prefer lighter, less violent series.
