A Portland detective’s grim lineage pulls him into a darkly comic and pulpy world of supernatural crime.
Suspenseful. A full-attention watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Prime Video, Peacock and The Roku Channel (free).
Moderate sex and nudity, which is more than most TV-14 titles carry. Beyond that, some strong language and strong violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
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.
