Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Enormously fun Newfoundland-set fantasy/mystery/horror. A salty fusion of hardboiled tropes, cryptids, cosmic horror, supervillainry, and squids galore, resulting in an inky brine that delights the pleasure centre of my brain. A sea monster-mash worthy of encore!
