Anthracite is dark and eccentric and it's so easy to become invested in the setting the intriguing set up of a cult and belief system gotten out of control.
With Ida, this show is led by an eccentric, head-strong young woman who sometimes misses social cues. Soon a counterpart lead role is established: Jaro, who actually really just wants to live in peace and not be dragged into this dark traumatizing case surrounding the suicide of his mother twenty something years ago. Roméo, Jaro's colleague and friend, is an awesome addition as supporting role -- and arguably my most favorite character in this show.
While the show seems to be starting off fast, throwing us into the events immediately, it's actually rather slow. Just like the characters, e.g. Ida, Jaro, Roméo, but also the police, the viewer is finding out information bit by bit. We however have one big advantage on the characters -- we get to know all sides and information, even what they don't share.
