Avis de la communauté (2)
Steve Conrad brings a special atmosphere to a story that could have gone a more traditional path. That slow, thoughtful flow, which integrates a sober sense of humor, sometimes even absurd, is the best characteristic of the series. Also a cast of splendid actors, who are totally devoted to the story. Sometimes this rhythm stagnates, but at the same time offers an unpredictable, surprising development. It is a very much Epix series, to enjoy with peace of mind. Waiting for next season.
I gave it a 9. Not because of the story. Not because of the flow. Because of the superb acting and the writing. (Yes story and writing could be the same, but it aint.) Just watch it. You will not regret it.
