Darned cockwombles.
Started watching this, up to episode 4 so far. Loving it as entertainment - the leads' chemistry is amazing, and "Let's make the car a place of silent reflection from now on, okay?" my favourite phrase of the year so far..
The major plus point for me is that I buy into the main characters, and so the show isn't simply a 'what happened next?' addictive cliffhanger, as many shows often are (and Breaking Bad, imo, turned into that in season 5 when it no longer was possible to believe the characters. Btw Rich, keep watching beyond season one, it really does pick up in seasons 2-4)
Politically though, it's pretty regressive -the racialised nature of the violence in episode 4 was totally unnecessary, and it's an overwhelmingly male show, with women mostly reduced to victims of one kind or another.
The KRS /strip club combo seemed a bit of a clanger, was thinking that too, not that I have been to many Louisiana strip clubs.
