Black Bird (2022)

Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser turn a prison bargain into an exceptionally tense battle of attention: an inmate must win a suspected killer's trust to obtain a confession. Small shifts in their conversations do more work than elaborate action ever could. A compact limited-series choice when you want a crime drama with a definite commitment. Its treatment of murdered girls and predatory violence makes it one of the hardest watches here.
