What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 138 minutes and it leans into its crime/drama roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.

Why It Stands Out
Fans of crime, drama and musical have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 5.2/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2024 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with crime and drama viewers.
How Joker: Folie à Deux Compares
If Joker: Folie à Deux lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, The Wire and The Sopranos, which share its crime/drama lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
