With elements of John Wick and Daredevil, the show features intense action sequences and a complex moral landscape. Salma Hayek plays Rosa, a bartender at Dave's favourite watering hole. The two share a will-they-won't-they dynamic that adds an extra layer of tension and intrigue to the show. Melanie Lynskey plays Emily, Dave's estranged wife and mother of their two children.
