The show isn't an easy watch, but the standout is definitely the fantastic cast led by Andrew Garfield.
However, the series is a bit too long for my taste. But the longer you stick with it, the more rewarding the miniseries becomes. You need to have that patience. In the first episodes, you dive deep into the world of the Mormons, and you have to be up for that.
The crime story and the religious critique come together in a fragmented narrative, broken up by countless flashbacks, which explores faith thoroughly but increasingly superficially, and the plot tends to stagnate.
Fanatical, dark, strong, thrilling, and believable. It's a mix of True Detective and American Beauty.
