The hook for this show isn't the financial misdoings, but in the same vein as House of Cards, this is a show about wielding power and leverage. The fun is in watching the characters finding angles on each other and exploiting them.
Hopefully the fun continues. The acting is good, the characters are compelling and the financial industry is a good enough back drop to provide interesting storylines.
Season 1 started of as 6/10. Season 2 ... don't remember anything from it.
Season 3 - 2/10
It's not funny.
It IS tedious.
It's all about being woke and not reality - typical apple+
I only watch this shit cause the wife likes it.
Every male character in the show is psycho and abusive and erratic. Too much elaborate mystery and fluff, surrounding what appears to be typical abusive relationship drama. Slow story, but excellent acting and cinematography. Personally, wouldn't recommend though.
It's a mediocre show. Not about real soccer. Not about sports in particular. Not extremely hilarious. Not serious. Not a complex drama. Not a romcom. W/o an overarching coherent story line. Full of cliches and stereotypes. Season one is the best season. Season two is the worst. I know why it's a mediocre show: they risk virtually nothing and designed the show exactly like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KeG_i8CWE8 They probably thought that's a one season show. And season one was the perfect uplifting show for the pandemic. They never thought to need longer story arches or complex characters. And the lack thereof became apparent in the last two seasons. The show has nothing to tell really.
Watch it in a cold winter. Three weekends will do. Highly binge-watchable and you don't need to pay much attention. It's feel good TV. Likeable but shallow characters. Not many other shows produce that sort of hear warming feeling. I said it before. I'll say it again: that's the innocuous familly entertainment companies like Apple deserve. What Emily did to Paris, this show does to European soccer culture.
A good series but doesn't live up to the hype. Dragged on too long I think. Could have been a 7 ep long series if some of the clutter was removed. The ending was quite anti-climactic. The protagonist meeting the old man and he essentially saying "it was just a game bro, why you so mad" was a little too underwhelming. But I am glad they went with that instead of making up something to appear that it all had some deeper spiritual meaning or a big secretive conspiracy. Another small thing, but some of the characters were just too out of character. They kept getting surprised by what was happening even after coming back to the place having already witnessed the first game and the mass murder of 200 people. Having said all that, it was quite enjoyable watch.
Half the episodes would've been better too much overdramatic dialogue. The idea is very good but also over used. Too slow for me.
I'm not sure how I feel about this version of the candy montgomery story. I love me some elizabeth Olsen, but the last thing I need in my head is an image of Jesse Plemons in a sex scene.
most overrated show in the history of television
went from a cheesy forced and contrived show carried by its performances to a series of shitty afterschool specials whose ambitions completely outstripped its ability
Both seasons are great in their own way. Second season delves much more into the sexual profligacy and perversion of rich people, than the first. The first season shows the pettiness and selfish nature of the wealthy class, while they put on the facade of charitable individuals. One could say these characters are the caricatures of what poor people think what the rich really are. But I think there's a lot of truth in everything shown.
