It wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t amazing either. The art direction was great, but for only 10 episodes, lot of it was a boring filler. Last two episodes did save it a bit, particularly the icelanding one was great. Fukunaga stretching those one take muscles was fun.
I like the setting, but the serie depend to much on having the viewer in the dark whats going on. You decide if thats a good storytelling device.
We live in a world where people can watch all TV series on demand, and everyone is genre-aware as hell. In a movie we know the Sean Bean character is going to die before we even heard about the movie title. So maybe having the viewers in the dark is a good thing. I dunno.
The characters on the serie are likeable, but a bit like cheap chinese clones of The Fight Club.
We finished the other day. Trippy, weird, enjoyable.
