This was definitely more on the crime drama side than the thriller side, which is what I was expecting. Even though it wasn't really up my alley, I thought it was well done with all the red herrings and making you second guess yourself, although the whodunit was ultimately who I had called early on. The details and all the trauma/abuse in the family setting was extremely sad though.
