This Is Where It Begins

Who authorized this?? There's get to be in Israeli working on that production. Ask them! The accent is horrifying, he does not sound like an Israeli native at all.

This is OK laying some groundwork and getting to know the characters and plot direction. I am not a US citizen and know nothing of these people, am watching episode 2 now to see what grows from this seed.

The first part showing the beginning of the fall of WeWork instantly hooks you into wanting to see what happens. They show the main character's narcissism well in the beginning and it makes you want to see how they became so big and it makes you really excited to see the downfall of these people. It's hard to root for them but not everything needs to have a character to root for. The presentation is very high energy and chaotic and it makes for a fun and engaging story despite its simplicity. The only issue I had with this episode was they moved foreword in time again to further show the downfall of WeWork and I think it disrupts the pacing and it doesn't have as much of an impact since we don't fully know the story yet. I hope they don't skip between the origin and the fall of WeWork because it decreased the excitement of seeing the downfall while breaking up the pacing.

This should have been a no brainer. The real life story of Wework is the sort only a screenwriter could contrive of. So why do these screenwriters get it so wrong. As played by Leto and Hathaway the characters are lack the natural charm and likeabilty that the real people must have possessed to achieve what they did. Here they run the gamut from obnoxious to arrogant - often in the same scene. Their romance feels forced and drawn out. Stick with the documentary, which is far more compelling.

Well written and interesting first episode. Really draws you into the show and wants to make you watch another episode.

Both Leto and Hathaway does a great job, really looking forward to the next episode.
