This is what I heard from so many people, so I watched an episode and a half and I was just fucking *bombed-out-of-my-mind* bored. Holy shit.
Intense? Really?
It’s excruciatingly simplistic, the exposition and storytelling and so on... just mind-numbingly dumb and obvious and boilerplate.
I keep hearing the word “intense,” but Jesus Christ man, watch The Americans or something.
Maybe it deserves another shot, but if I count more than 10 abused tropes in a pilot episode with no unique spin, I’m usually out.
