Good cast, good music, maybe a little bit formulaic but very watchable. Jude Law plays a restaurant owner and Jason Bateman plays his fk up brother...brilliantly. Really enjoying this so far.

excellent - has kept me enthralled this weekend.

some absolute massive holes in the plot, but look over that and it is a great watch.

The plot holes get worse yet it remains watchable. We finished it last night. Really liked it as a whole...

I'm starting to really hate all these series and films that start at the end, then say 1 year earlier etc...... Black Rabbit did it and i lost patience and turned it off.... its for the same idiots that need most TV shows to highlight what you are about to see for yourself, pain in the ass....

Quite enjoy that format personally. Mind you, I am a proper idiot!

Better than expected, Bateman and Law were superb. The other character I enjoyed was Mancuso, the older crime boss.

Wouldn't mind another season but I'm not sure there's much of a story beyond this.

We've watched a couple of episodes now, I really like Bateman in everything he's been in. But I couldn't warm to Jude Law's character at all, his accent was terrible, and he just annoyed me, can't be bothered watching any more.

It's like a poor mans 'The Bear'.

Surely if you sit down with the family to watch say for example Bake Off, and it shows a highlights real of what's about to come, you don't enjoy that? Just watch the programme and see what occurs, why do we need to be shown the best bits?
Films way is the start at the end, then work forward from year earlier.... its too regular now and its purely a device to combat the sheer magnitude of choice in what to watch or do...

But they didn't show it as a "highlights real", they showed it so that right up to ep6 viewers thought one thing was going to happen, but it didn't (not that you got that far to appreciate it). That was a great plot twist which wouldn't have worked nearly as well had we not seen a snippet of what was going to happen. I agree that in some cases it's lazy, but for me it worked well in BR, and I think it works for the likes of White Lotus too.

It was OK but could've been 2 episodes shorter, seemed to lull a bit in the middle.

Agreed, couple of episodes felt like filler but on the whole we enjoyed it. Well worth a watch

Fair play, my point still stands though, I've seen it used so much now i couldn't be bothered watching anymore, my loss? Yes, but ultimately I'm tiring of seeing a string of action, then being thrust back 1 year earlier....
Granted they switched it up this time, I might try to plug on with it...

We just finished this, enjoyed it, although it probably could of been 6 episodes. I've only seen Bateman in this and Ozark but really warmed to him.

I'd like there to be a second series, set a few years later, they meet up in a different city and open a new place or something.
