With a complex plot and surprisingly large cast, this is primarily a ride through a rural village's darkest family secrets. The action revolves around corrupt cops, incompetent cops, a sinister religious cult, some feisty women, and at least one callous murderer who is attempting to hide the deeds that define a family's troublesome past.
The characters are deliciously offbeat and for the most part, remain true to their traits. Some viewers may take umbrage at how poor the cops are at their job, but for me, it reinforced the real-life observation that future steady professionals can, along the way, stumble, make poor choices, and question their abilities.
Importantly, there was no feeling that the writing was weak - only that they'd accurately found the weaknesses in people. - 8.3/10.
