    Great crime/mystery series that's entirely bingeable for those who binge. The story was great and kept me wanting to know more. The characters kept me involved. Grzegorz Damięcki have an outstanding performance.  Some of the cinematography left a little to be desired but nothing jarring. Definitely worth the watch.

    By the end, the story’s rush of exposition can be dizzying, but the pieces fall into place in ways that aren’t entirely unbelievable. And the details, remixed from so many other mystery stories by Coben and others, will make sense in almost any language.

    The performances of both the young and middle-aged versions of the main characters in The Woods are a good reason to keep watching. But the mystery is just complex and intriguing enough to justify watching those performances.
