After 2-3 episodes, I'd have rated this maybe 7.5 stars, but after slogging through the whole series, I think 5 is pushing it.Very frustrating to sit through the very long pauses used as filler. This probably could have been an OK 5-episode show if they trimmed out the useless pauses and irrelevant scenes. This guy is supposed to be on the wagon, yet way too much time is spent on each episode showing whiskey glasses being poured and filled as he uses every possible excuse to booze it up (and encouraged by his wife, if you can believe that). I spent a lot of time on the last episodes with my hand on the remote, and eventually fast forwarded through much of the useless and pointless nonsense in the later episodes.The entire ninth episode is a long, boring look back at history supposed explaining why he's what he is, something that could have easily been done with a 5-10 minute "flashback", but instead wasting an hour of your time if you can manage to sit through it.The story itself is pretty flawed and simplistic, but I could have tolerated this if the production itself was good. Lovely scenery, but geez, get on with the story and quit showing us 30 second scenes of someone sitting there supposedly contemplating something deep or guzzling down each of several glasses of whiskey in real time...we got it in the first few seconds, no need to drag it out

Had hope for the first two episodes especially with Tim Roth. Just wound itself down into monotony and became unnecessarily convoluted. A story we could have finished in a "B" movie five years ago in 1.5 hours. And will we all ever get tired of the worst actor who always plays odious roles: Christopher Heyerdahl. Just awful as an actor.

Started of great (Episode 1) then went right downhill (2 -8) then it only came together in the last 2 episodes (9 + 10). I almost gave up on it twice but managed to stick with it although I was restricted to 1 episode a day (I couldn't manage more than that). Apart from Tim Roth everybody else was annoying, especially the actress playing his daughter.
