S01: This probably plays really well if you also like Succession. These characters are kinda like nails on a chalkboard, but if you can find the satire and commentary beyond that, it’s very enjoyable. Really good characters, interesting and unpredictable story, very well produced (excellent cinematography and music), it’s fantastic.
8.5/10
S02: Good new set of characters, love the location of cinematography. The story doesn’t quite work for me, a lot more melodramatic than season 1 (feels a lot like a soap opera in places), it’s a lot of people fucking each other, cheating on each other, being disloyal, etc. It squeezes some interesting ideas in there about masculinity, scamming, naivety and power, but whereas season 1 was this beautifully orchestrated car crash showing why contemporary can be such a nightmare, this isn’t anywhere as deep or interesting. It’s mostly saved by the filmmaking and acting, but a massive step down compared to season 1.
