*Mousetrap* (2026) relies on strong, gritty performances and a moody, atmospheric start, earning a solid 6/10 for its sheer style and tension. Unfortunately, its bloated ten-episode runtime bogs down in a muddy middle stretch, dragging the experience into a frustratingly confusing maze of overcomplicated twists and narrative whiplash that leaves the final payoff feeling exhausted.
