A dating app refugee finds unexpected romance, then discovers her charming new boyfriend has very particular tastes.
Suspenseful, with dark satire. A full-attention watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Hulu.
Extreme gore, which is more than most R titles carry. Beyond that, real scares and a jolt or two.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Frustrated by scrolling dating apps only to end up on lame, tedious dates, Noa takes a chance by giving her number to the awkwardly charming Steve after a produce-section meet-cute at the grocery store.
