Based on a true story, the show's premise instantly piqued my interest. The fact that the events portrayed actually took place adds an extra layer of fascination and intrigue. The performances were convincing, bringing the characters to life and making their struggles and emotions feel genuine. Despite these positives, there was one aspect that I felt could have been improved upon: the non-linear narrative. While the storytelling technique aimed to create suspense and mystery, it occasionally led to confusion. The constant shifts in time made it difficult to keep track of the events and the character development. Overall, _The Serpent_ is a good series, however, a smoother chronological progression could have made it even better. Nonetheless, I would still recommend this show to anyone who enjoys a thrilling crime drama based on real events.
