really liked it

The first two-thirds of this read like a classy homage to the great LA noir of the past. It screams at various times of Cain, Chandler and Hammett - some elements feels literally torn from their playbooks. It's funny, full of wisecracks and set in the pantheon of grotesque wealth, the Hollywood Hills.

And then everything goes..

DARK
AS
FUCK.

Great, disturbing fun with a brilliant and comic narrative voice. The start of what could be a very entertaining series.
