This was disappointing - boring and repetitive until the end at which point it kind of devolves into an action movie with a reveal that I didn't predict only because I thought that it would be too obvious. The cliffhanger was kind of interesting though.

I liked this opener to the series.  The characters felt real and there were many tense moments.  Would have liked more of an explanation into why the culprit did what they did but I guess that will come from reading more of the series.  I will definitely continue :)
