So my friend and I started watching this series today. We only watched one episode. He and I had a few different viewpoints on it, but both of us kind of agreed on the annoyance of the show kind of being all over. There were transitions in the show that seemed to come from no where (Perhaps it was in place of a commercial.. Although I don't think these series have commercials as they are premium channel series?). He said the acting was not very good and I kind of agreed on that. The lines were kind of cheesy and the swearing was unwarranted at many different points of the show. We counted 5 F bombs in a matter of 50 seconds.
Anyways, I'm wondering if you think we should consider to continue watching or have any insight on how I can introduce a factor of the show to him that will help him to find it more interesting? I enjoy shows with psychological aspects and craziness like this, but it is sort of meh for me so far. It seemed father forceful to me in the introduction of people/and or plot structure. I enjoy shows such as Breaking Bad and Walking Dead from AMC, and I figured this show would have some nice points of interest that aligned with them.
Does anyone think these contrived scenes are present in the show the same way as we do? I'm wondering if the show picks up differently with avoidance of people finding out, sort of like Breaking Bad, or if it's just rinse and repeat with the murder and thought process? Thanks if anyone is able to provide any input or counter-input for reasoning I've mentioned, or awesomeness that ensues within the show. (Please no spoilers if responding directly to me with quoting, unless in a spoiler tag(I don't think that would make sense?)).
