This show was honestly just great potential (potential that really stood out in that final scene in the 10th episode), very poorly executed.
+ See the review by @cutecruel on the final episode which pretty much says everything else I'd want to say.
Bryan Cranston stars as a judge who confronts his deepest beliefs when his son is involved in an attack that confuses an organized crime family. Faced with a series of impossible choices, he discovers how far a father will go to save his son's life.
I was a little late starting this series, but when I saw Cranston in the lead, I knew it had to be good! This does not disappoint! This show actually has shades of Breakin Bad in that Brian is once again in a position to make up stories on the spot, make up the lies, and get himself and the ones he loves into deeper and deeper nightmare scenes. The tension is palpable and heartbreaking and intense, right from the start ... This show hooks in and won't let go. Powerful renditions here of someone's worst nightmare ... Ordinary people try to cope with an unfathomable situation as best they can, but create an ever-worsening cascade of domino-like events, one of which triggers the other, and so on. The son does a fantastic job and the mafia boss's choice is perfection to play out Cranston's portrayal of a loving and honorable father who is suddenly pushed to the limit and as he tries to protect his son, he becomes the polar opposite of everything. he was dear before. Stellar and absolutely compelling storytelling ...
Yet another masterpiece with Cranston. This show is just amazing.
I have to mention that the writing seems a bit off, and I'm not gonna ignore that Cranston is actually carrying the show. But he's doing it so well though.

A charming retelling of The Princess Bride at this time of Covid 19. Famous actors recreate the entire movie scene by scene, and somehow it works. Although I think it helps that The Princess Bride is one of my favorite movies.
This is adorable. A must watch for Princess Bride fans. :thumbsup_tone2::heart:
When I first started watching this I thought yeah it's ok but the more and more episodes I've gone through the better it has got. top stuff.
Greek freakin' tragedy. Well worth the watch. Very well done show.
