This is like a live-action graphic novel. Sure, the action is exaggerated and the nudity is at times gratuitous but that's part of the charm. And it works, really well.
The acting (especially from the likes of Ulrich Thomsen, The Wire's Frankie Faison and The Sopranos' Matt Servitto) is incredible as are the characters themselves. The storylines are engaging, genuinely edge-of-your-seat stuff. And the overall tone and cinematography of the show is breathtakingly refreshing and rich. Especially in season 2, with an episode featuring cinematography equivalent to the movie Drive. I love what it's achieved and where it's going. The attention to detail via unusual means is also a blast with the evolving title sequence including clues for what's to come and the post-credit scenes that add a touch more insight into the character's lives.
This is honestly one of my all-time favourite shows. Very much worth the watch and a well deserved 10/10.
