Initially the trailer caught my attention and episode 1 brought what i expected. After that things got less great. The Mansell character got on my nerves quickly. And it makes only little sense how nobody finished him off before. Plus the whole sidestory of a crooked cop keeping Mansell safe and our of prison doesn't make any sense. He didn't have the little book before. He never approached the crooked chop neither. It's a huge plothole. The wokeness relationships also don't make any sense. Not the gay one and not the one between our main man good honest cop and the person of interest lawyer of the main villain. Such a good honest cop would never do that. Only reason for this to be a thing is coz the producers needed an interracial relationship added to the show and the writers could not think of any logical couples.
It's too bad this nonsense keeps on being stuffed down our throats. Because these kind of things do not add to the story. Especially not if done this stupidly. Other choices made by several main characters also felt far fetched multiple times. But the woke bs really took away from the quality of the show.
Overall season 1 started great and then quickly quality dropped. Last few episodes I went to do other things with the sound playing in the back ground and I d watch occasionally. The whole Albanian angle felt like a bad steal from Barry, or Banshee or... So many other series.
I'll still give it a decent 7 out of 10. May have been closer to an 8 without the b.s wokeness.
