Small town mystery tropes include:
(1) People holding onto secrets for a long time
(2) Mythologies around unsolved crimes
(3) Embarrassing or criminal relational connections
(4) "Outsiders" who are more connected to the small town than they knew
Anthracite has all those tropes and more and was still a fun ride. Ida's quirkiness was fine but her French so fast at points that i needed to replay some of her scenes.
Surprisingly Jaro was bewildered to be the object of every woman's affection except his ex's. Was he that clueless?
But seriously, it was fun watching the mystery u fold and trying to figure out why people did what they did and if the characters we came to care about would get what they needed.
I recommend. And 6 episodes is the sweet spot! USA productions need to keep that in mind!
