Episode one was an extremely disappointing, clumsy mess. Half the time I couldn't figure out what they were talking about, the other half was just predictable and contrived. On this evidence Cary Fukunaga is a big loss.
Maybe I am being overly harsh due to the inevitably high benchmark set by season 1. If I saw this in objective isolation I might say it is ok. Framed within my known realty however, it's rubbish so far. Fingers crossed it improves.
Sunday was my favorite HBO night. GOT followed by Silicon Valley. Beep pretty good too. But now we have this followed by Ballers, which was just an embarrassment. Haven't seen The Brink, but the reviews are horrible. HBO look like they bet big on some star vehicles, and might end up flopping.
