Lots of hype surrounding this show caused me to investigate. First thing I noticed were all the great reviews and couldn't wait to get started. Sadly, once I did, I was extremely disappointed. As a result, perhaps my rating is a little lower based on the expectations I had but, regardless, this is not good and average at best although that's not how I'm presently feeling about it truth be told.

It's very dark and hard to see. The use of flashbacks is extremely annoying. Supposed to be Philadelphia but clearly is not. Fake accents (and sometimes no accent) along with obvious forced attempts at portraying the "usual" stereotypes. Very slow, unbelievable, and mostly boring.

For me, overall, it was a very hard to watch and I do not recommend the investment. Turns out it's more of a chore than anything else.

I am really not sure what this is trying to be but it fails.

Whenever I find myself wanting to fast forward a movie, I usually resist the urge and simply turn it off and find something else. In this case, it happened more than once but instead I actually did fast forward in one place hoping to land on a worthwhile scene. I did not. Instead I ended up on what seemed to be the exact same spot because there was nothing different going on. Tedious, stressful, frustrating, and quite boring. And the worst part? It was all absolutely unbelievable. Back and forth the nonsense seems to go on forever and ever. I was thinking the ending might rescue the film, as sometimes does occur, but that definitely did not happen here. All in all, it was a very difficult watch.

Acting was decent but what does that matter when the script is so bad?
