If you've ever read early Thomas Pynchon and enjoyed it, you probably really like this show. People in orbits inside the lattice-work of heartache, regret, frustrated ambition and the irrepressible past. All with something big turning its gears out of view.
The cast is outstanding. (Even most detractors concede this.) I've always liked Wyatt Russell and this role is perfect for him. Sonya Cassidy is beautiful and sardonic and long-suffering as his sister. (Lizzzzaaard!) The supporting cast is outstanding and full of pros. The music in this show is so good. I love that the plot takes it time. I like spending time with these people.
I sincerely hope this sticks around for at least a couple years.

It makes me happy and I realize it's not lethal weapon and nothing is blowing up but sometimes it's just chilling with my glass of whatever and wondering what my life would be if I was born in Southern California instead of Philly. And realize California can be just everyday like Philly. But again I enjoy and like this show.

Figured I had to write something thankful and inspiring for the folks who were responsible for the show before it was cancelled. Praise be to those who talked the suits out of enough money to make 10 shows. Only watched a few episodes, but wow; reminds me that TV doesn't have to be crap. You know how sometimes you can see something small but it's actually pretty big and the more you think about it, it gets bigger? How people seem so stupid and lost, but if give them a chance you realise their struggles are righteous, and you're in their way not the other way around? The writing is authentic, real; the acting doesn't seem to be; visually it sucks you in like the couch in a furnished apartment and then it slaps you, hard, if you take it too much for granted. Some dialog, some scenes, some shots just have to be watched over again to see how smooth and easy Mexican tequila can be when it's done right fine. It's funny without joking, and the serious is slipped-in sly like so you don't notice too much. It's fairly obvious the show won't appeal to some, maybe a lot, but good, solid work is like that sometimes. But to some, like me, well, it's a little joy to watch. Bless you Jim Gavin whoever you are.

I kind of like this drama because I am dragged into the story wondering what the hell the mysterious organisation is. I hope it would be something with magic or aliens or super-power. It would be lots of fun because the reality is exhausting and boring for so many people. I find I resonate well with the tone the drama has set. Looking forward to the next episode.
