This show is one of the finest I have ever seen. I fell in love with it from the very beginning and have watched every episode (along with extras like interviews) as they have aired.
It is a crime drama thriller that deals with a triple homicide in a small town where nothing bad ever happens (until that day). The story unfolds and is told around the eyewitnesses to the crime, two teenage boys who don't report it; the sheriff, who used to be a big city hotshot homicide detective; the killer, who is not who you think he is; FBI agents, who have personal agendas; and gang members.
It deals with a lot of issues that I haven't seen done well (or at all) in any other show or movie, one of them being internalized homophobia which is a very real and very serious issue. We see two teenage boys struggle with various problems involving homophobia and how the LGBTQ community is seen in a small town as well as in a big city, which definitely proves to be interesting.
Watch this show, or at least the first episode, and you will be hooked!
score 10/10
