I watch till ep 06 and this show is midly retarded. I'm not a sucker for true realism in a tv serie, but there's a fucking limit. When your plot twists are based on things that make no sense, that's where I draw the line.
might spoilerize some:
Spoiler:
So dumbass n°1 give 2.2M dollars to a chick he just met, without any guarentee whatsoever, that happen to be his money-laundering father's scam cash he took from mobsters.
Right.
Then comes the haitian guy that only ever made money through extortion and violence that wants his money back. BUT WAIT, a 15 seconds pitch by what seems to be the biggest scammers on earth, now wants to shack up with the idiots duet, with money that ISN'T HIS TO GIVE OR LEND.
Right.
Then lunatic freeman that just does... what actually? He just squeezes half-assed criminals and KILL HIS PARTNER for no reason.
Right.
Did I mention that people steal that money like 6 times every episode?
And that when they manage to get it back, they fuck up the next second?
The guys leaves a job and endangers his marriage for no other reason that lunacy.
The girl is a nutjub but somehow he trusts her despite the fact that she never does anything right.
Haitian Montana can't make up his mind ever, and
Mr. Freeman seems to be realizing he got fuuucked accepting this role.
So as far as I'm concerned, it's one of those "The Strain" shows, you just watch it to know how dumb it will get.
The acting is decent, it's rather well shot and everything. The script was just made under the heavy usage of dope by some hack.

It is.. decent
Better than the last shows i watched. Queen of the South Ahah, O.A. uh! AhAh and the 2 season of that hallucinating bugged eye kid whats is name.
It's a terrible show shallow show that I suspect is targeting the millennials. The thin dude playing the warlord gangster has zero presence or charisma.
Martin Freeman is just cashing a cheque here.
This song was used at the as the credits song for the first episode:
S01 was a terrible mess that insulted our intelligence.
I began to watch s02 out of curiosity, and it's way better paced, and it recenters the focus.
I began watching it barely rememberting anything about S01, and it kinda works.
So I stopped at s02e03, but this is way better than before, and I think one could jump straight to s02 without feeling like "wtf is happening".
Went from "wtf, " to "ok-ish".
Tech-wise, it's still like "*scribble scribble* (bunch of javascript-ish nonesense)", but it's a "who cares" on this point.
So I wouldn't recommend it, but it's not that bad either.
