I didn't know much about this going in, but happy I gave it a chance because it was a FUN ride!
Simply, it's a modern day version of Sweeney Todd taking place in Washington Heights (right above Harlem). I thought there was a skilled blend of suspense and humor. Characters pull you in right away and the story telling is super captivating. In fact, I was so into the story, I didn't even play games on my phone while I watched...that's about the highest compliment I can give to any show.
My suggestion is to not read too much going in or over analyze whether or not to watch. Just do it. Have fun! You'll be rewarded with a thrilling limited series that I definitely recommend.
