This show suffered from writers who don't understand what makes something dramatic and or interesting, so the writing just drones on and on and on with underwhelming scene after underwhelming scene. There are so many opportunities to make this extraordinary but these people would have to understand enough about creating drama to know how to do that, and they simply do not. This is at every turn, in every scene, and on and on. They seem to believe that savvy tech, and concepts alone will make it interesting, but it doesn't.

I hope they get better writers, soon too, because the basic premise perhaps could be interesting, if . . .

This was a sweet story, art house for sure, and a bit slow. It is moody, and needed another rewrite and an edit to pick up the pacing. As is, the story does not do the massive talent onscreen justice. And they are excellent, so it is the direction that is the problem. Too slow, too disconnected and belabored. It is the pacing of the writer/director that is the problem.

Too many scenes of people doing nothing, driving, partying in the distance for too long, and on and on.

Casey is clearly brilliant as usual. He is really the king of understated performances, and suprise talents, like being a musician.

Basically it is a quiet, understated story, running a bit too slow.
