first episode watched seems it could be okay.

Have seen the first two, really enjoying it.

Cinemax seem to have a knack of producing good content, first Strike Back, after that Banshee now this.

Yeah, it's pretty damn good so far. Brutal too, that shoot out and the resulting clean up was slightly messy.

That said, one thing is bugging me. It's set in '72 and has hot naked women, yet there's no 70s bush!

Hadn't heard of it before seeing this thread but it's pretty damn good after the first episode so far. Hopefully i'll get the second and third in while she's watching x factor tonight.

Watched first 3 , pretty good viewing so far, liking it

really enjoying this, quite slow and reminded me of Rectify, until I found that its from the same writers.

Watched the opening episode last night, thought it was stunningly good.

Out of interest, which channel/broadcaster is it on?

Cinemax in the US and it looks like Sky Atlantic will have it in the UK

Can't get into this at all, it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere and is too slow, feels like it is trying to be too "true detective".

Certainly doesn't live up to banshee anyway, god I miss that show

I was also hoping this would be as good as Banshee but after 3 episodes I gave up. None of the characters are likable

and the main guy is a straight up murderer

So after watching the entire season I have to agree with the above sentiment. Good acting but you really have to question your own morality to whether it's enjoyable watching or not.

point decay · 30 Oct 2016 at 13:26

overall i thought it was pretty good, some episodes were gripping and some felt like they went on way too long.

I'd probably watch it next year if it was renewed, but equally not fussed if it was cancelled.

MookJong · 31 Oct 2016 at 10:17

Surprised at the lack of love for this show, wife and I really enjoyed it.

2nd episode in, loving it

I would certainly agree that its no Banshee (which was fantastic from start of episode 1) , just a bit too predictable

(the friend getting kiled on the first job, even though he had a clear shot from the door - but un-neccessarily walked all the way into the room)

Just one of the many bits that really bugged me about the opening episode - also didnt really get what they had done wrong - ie why all the protestors, and how the **** did the protestors even know they were gonna be at the airport on that day

( I know there were a huge amount of anti - vietnam protests at the time, but protests against particular soldiers seems a bit much. In the 70's that amount of info released publicly would have taken a lot of time - not quickly enough to protest on these guys arrival in town)

Will try 2nd episode but its a bit meh for me so far

Started watching this, was happy when I realised it was produced by cinemax, after the awesome show banshee I hope this is as good.
