I saw the trailer for this show and was hyped for it. I like Giancarlo Espasito and most recently saw him in Abigail. I sat down to watch this and waited and waited for something to happen.
The pacing was slow and there was nothing in the story to make one scene stand out more than another. There was a somber melancholy that permeated every frame of the show, even the scenes that should have been exhilarating like fast driving.
As for the music, it was horrible and misplaced. The music didn't match the show and was like a shoe that didn't fit. My wife entered the room hands over ears and asked where the horrible music was coming from.
The icing on the cake of this horrible story was when Giancarlo's character, who has a luxury automobile, beautiful home and rather charmed life over all begins with the whole "we were both victims of the British..blah blah blah" when speaking with another posh and privileged character in the show. Just lazy writing and playing to stereotypes. This is where I cut off the show and decided to find something to watch that actually cared about my time as a viewer and would put in the effort.
Even for a die hard Giancarlo fan, this is a hard pass.
