I'm actually kind of surprised at how critical a lot of the reviews are.
It seems like they focus on how plodding, dark, and dated they found it, when they could as easily have used more positive adjectives like brooding, raw and atmospheric.
One of the most striking things in the first two eps, for me, is the subtle nuance of Joni's accent. Not merely a passable broadly 'southern,' it a good central Louisianan.
Also love Dewey Crowe/Buddy. It's clearly and unambiguously Herriman, but the the hairstyle is somehow clearly Southern, yet vaguely menacingly eastern European.
