Refn has become a completely parody of himself.
In a interview Refn mentioned the reason why he choose the title; Copenhagen Cowboy for his new series.
He told the reporter; It sounded cool.
And that just pretty much sums up Refns style as a filmmaker since the making of Drive. Nothing is motivated by the themes or the characters, everything is motivated by coolness.
Extremely long panning shots (most of them absent of any motivation, they are just there because the shots look cool), every scene is bathed in either red or blue neon lights (or both), why? Because it is cool! Long pauses after every line of dialogue delivered by every actor, why? Because it is cool!
Then you have the other usual Refn trademarks; short outburst of extreme violence, a Cliff Martinez synth score and a plot that centers around revenge.
Refn hasn't developed as a filmmaker since 2011, and every movie and series he has made since then has been a repeat of what made him a breakout director in the first place.
Also someone needs to tell Refn that he is not a screenwriter, his attempt at dialogue is written like someone who has never spoken to a human being before.
