Only a half hour in, and this is excellent.
Gonna be looking forward to this one.

I've been intrigued since seeing the trailer a while back. It's either this or that Emma Thompson sex comedy. Emma Thompson. Sex. Comedy. *shudders*

These two episodes are the best direction from Jon Watts' career.
Fantastic writing, staging, and they really let the actors cook.
I'm all-in.

Checked out the pilot last night I'll be sticking around. Lithgow is a solid choice.

I watched the first two episodes. The first one was pretty good, a nice lead up to a satisfying conclusion. The second episode was a step down. John Lithgow's scenes are great but it was getting tiresome watching Jeff Bridges flirt with a single mom for most of the episode. I thought the episode had totally redeemed itself when Bridges killed the two cops then shot the mom which was so intense but then you realize it's just a vision that Bridges had and in reality he does nothing. That weak shit is straight out of the last Twilight movie. I'll watch the third and fourth episodes this weekend but I'm on the fence.

Yea the long winded monologues are frankly distracting on episode 2.

Just finished this. Overall, I thought it was really strong, with phenomenal acting, intense direction and writing, etc. But I WILL say the second half of the season felt slower than the first half.
