Reception

[edit]

Film critic John Serba, questioned the originality of the show saying "It just doesn't offer enough original fodder to lure us into a 10-episode binge."[3] Serba concludes his review describing how "the premise is too contrived and the characters too familiar to render it more than just another rote serial killer story."[3]

Production

[edit]

While the series' story takes place in Northern California, shooting and post-production were done in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia through incentives offered by the Made in NSW International Footloose Fund. The drama was produced by Playmaker Media, an Australian leader in premium scripted content. Sony Pictures Television Distribution handled worldwide sales of the series, with international release via the AXN pay channel.[4]

The series was released on the Netflix streaming service on May 1, 2020.
