The well-thought-out production design and fitting score only enhance the series by making it look like a real and engulfing environment. The rhythm is close to the point and episode after episode brings tension, excepting space to develop characters and twist the plot, which keeps the audience guessing right to the end.

It creates a feeling of adrenaline and sympathy, making one think about the topics of truth, loyalty, and justice. While certain plot lines tend to be clichés, the excellent acting and critical narrative in the series make it unique.
