-
Thorne seems compelled by the central mystery of his story to make them enigmatic, but they end up feeling not quite like flawed flesh-and-blood people. It’s a minor weakness, though, in a series that achieves so much. Kiri, a gripping drama, also takes some of the most loaded subjects in contemporary culture and widens the debate around them.
-
Kiri, like its predecessor, is both brisk and illuminating, providing compassionate and honest character studies.
-
Ultimately, Kiri is an admirably executed story of confusion, emotion, and consequence, though not without a handful of fumbles.
-
There’s so much more to explore far beyond the outcome of the crime, but Kiri ultimately sets that aside to make room for a mystery whose final reveal is far less interesting than the exploration of emotional fallout that came before it.
