3.0

I like the concept but the execution was lackluster. I never really felt the villain's alleged obsession with the main character, it was just something repeatedly told.

The main character's darker side is intriguing, but unfortunately I'm not sold on the series.

Moderate: Violence and Murder

Minor: Sexual assault

One scene from the POV of a victim is quite distressing.

It felt like I was waiting for a plot twist or at least something interesting to happen and... no such luck. The ending specifically was worse than predictable, it was boring.
