Back when this show was first airing I remember seeing some people call it the new deathnote...yeah no, even if you disregard the mediocre-at-best animation, calling this contrived, plot armor heavy nonsense "the new deathnote" is an insult to deathnote, the only thing they have in common is that they're both stories filled with mind games where the protag is trying to hide their status as a killer.

The dialogue is quite clunky at times and the characters are...strange, like the mother finds that her husband murdered someone and she's just...chill, unnaturally so, like it comes off that she's some kinda psychopath that has a few bodies under her belt aswell, but no she's meant to just be a normal housewife that cares about her family, it's weird.

Now the plotarmor in this show is just blatant.
The bad guy has our protag completely tied up with a bag over his head, he can't fight back at all, and what does the baddie do?
cut off the bag and the restraints, and then...tell him he's gonna kill him, after which he proceeds to grab him and try to stab him...
why...he could've just stabbed him while he was restrained and that's it, but if he did that, our protag would've had a harder time getting out of the situation, so the writer just contrived his way into a better one, when they should've just redrafted the script instead.

overall, if you're looking for "the next deathnote", look elsewhere, but if you want just some thriller story, regardless of quality, then go ahead i guess.
