This is an interesting ten episode crime drama. The casting and acting is great, and they did a good job with the period settings. Some parts of the story get told a bunch of times based on different viewpoints, which was wearing a bit thin by the end. Overall though, it stays interesting even as it retreads certain scenes or stories.
I watched in my own order (1-4,6,8-9,5,7,10 if anybody cares) and I don't really know what extra that gives the viewer. Black Mirror: Bandersnatch this ain't. The episodes jump around in time anyway, so even if you wanted a more linear experience, you can't really get it given how the episodes were edited together. This is probably good since if we had a number of dedicated prison-set episodes, I wonder if I would have watched it all the way through.
