Ben Kingsley is so much more enjoyable when he's not portraying icons of history and hagiography, and the creative minds of the patriot have brought forth another beautiful visual poem for the soulful seeker bored by laugh tracks snd phoned in performance or the overly dramatic.

Others have said its Dave Lynch and Coen Brothrs mashup, but it could just as easily be said Jim Jarmusch and Wim Wenders, other wunderkin of the golden age of independent cinema-the 1980's, both in the use of landscapes, and the spare yet vivid dialogue and character development.

These productions seem gather artists like moths to a flame to ingender wonderful performances with both the gang from patriot and other great character actors gifted at their craft with integrity work. It's got an unapologetic punk vibe, not caught up in nonsense of the moment but rather the absurdity, horrific and humorous, of essential human struggles in the world of hard knock reality, beyond what humans paper over with consumer driven lifestyles and spiritual gimmicks.

Glad to see a McPoyle thrive.

I've also found some new musicians to appreciate, including Ben Kingsley.

The asthetics of the show is in my opinion a beautiful mix between modern-western, surrealistic shots and some backflashs in an own style.

It's not one genre per se, even if u first expect some kind of gritty noir, more a cross-over with a lot of eccentricity and absurdity, which could put you into the 'hate it'-group or exactly the diffrent one. For me it's the later one, because it's still got a 'could be real life'-feeling to the characters and the setting.

If u don't like voice over commentory it's not for u.

It reminded me roughly of Fargo -the movie-, the old Guy Richie with a bit of No Country For Old Man. Even if I like Ben Kingsleys part in the show, don't watch it just for him, u would probaly be disappointet.

After episode 4 there was just one scene, which I thought was to far fetched and not in line with the tone of the show so far.

Great show. The casting is eclectic and inspired and the writing is unique. For me, any show that includes Jimmi Simpson is always a winner. Add a legend like Ben Kingsley, and you just can't lose. As an aside, why hasn't IMDb included Timothy Spall in the cast listing?

I love the quirky dark humor. It has a David Lynch vibe to it. Phenomenal cast of actors all of which were great. Well written screenplay and direction. I loved the pauses in each line to stress an idea - very clever. It is a bit slow so I suspect that might turn off some viewers, but I was fine with it because the quality was present. It was devilishly absurdly funny. Especially Ben Kingsley. I am annoyed they did not renew this show for a second season, and they left us with a cliff hanger. Supposely they will give this show a proper ending but when?

So while I am not exactly sure how this series is going to turn out after two episodes I am intrigued and interested in something different I looked forward to watching thus 2nd episode on Sunday which says something in itself so that being said so far so good I don't get the ones in the twos and threes scores that are ahead of me here it's kind of boggles my mind I never once thought about the show being bad at all so I don't know if that is more about Me more about them but either way check it out if you want to I think it's pretty good
