Hah. That's awesome.


Curious if anyone has bothered to watch? Still getting really positive reviews for the most part.

I love this show, the writing is very good and the acting is really spot on. The guy who plays Quarry does a fantastic job of playing a combat vet who is conflicted by what he has done and what he has to do to pay off the debt.

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.
