The Real Review

People are really into this stylish LA noir, mostly because Colin Farrell's charismatic, haunted performance as private eye John Sugar is just that good. The show looks fantastic, and the acting across the board is a huge highlight, even if some characters like Vega or Ji Moon aren't landing. The main complaint is the story, which some find a bit thin or confusing, with the pacing flagged as an issue in the second season. Still, if you're a fan of the genre or Farrell, it's an easy, visually lush watch.
