Despite the format of the mini-series, the series is very stretched. In the first season, more or less, the detective and intrigue are covered with a soap opera shell, but still tolerable. Compared to the second season, where the series is 2 more, the investigation seems to be underway, but in such homeopathic doses that it is just a “white noise” in the pictures.
The greatest virtue is Aaron Paul's play. A fascinating, threatening, loving character. Even little allusions to Norton from American History X. The rest of the actors are lost against this background. The second and third planes are quite bright types - it is easy to guess, but such a concentration per square meter in life looks unrealistic, only in a narrowly specialized medical institution. Especially for one of the families of the story. And even the ending of the series did not give answers to many detective questions, and some decisions are outright egregious. Although the mantra is often said about “all the secret becomes clear”.
Season two just doesn't work. Although the idea is interesting, in passing some acute social issues emerge. But they will drag on even more, and most of the narrative is presented in the format of “we are going to talk about the need to talk with some about the second, and then with others to talk about the third.” There's a bit of chewing on the first season. Dialogue is terrible, people don't say that. They say that's what the comic book heroes and villains say. Did you scold Bella from Twilight for her monotonous face? Hold Kate Hudson's beer, her acting is like an nfc character from mid-90s games. Such a toned poker face from all sides.
There is a reserve for the third season, it is even announced. But that's all my authority. Seven only for more or less tolerable detective and Aaron Paul first season. And a little for hints at current American (and not so) social topics.
