It is freaking intense, like 2 seasons of Ozark intensity crammed into a one season limited series. Jason directed a lot of the episodes, and I'm hear to tell ya, if you liked Ozark, you should like this one as well (conversely if Ozark was decided NOT your bag, this won't be either, unless your issue with Ozark was that it was too slow. This one is not, IMHO ... though some people do complain it's too slow, they did the same with Ozark. I don't mind the slower, world-building episodes of either show, and I thought this has less of that).
Even if there really isn't a Ruth-like character to feel sympathetic towards, and the one romantic relationship that develops in the show doesn't really ring sincere or have much chemistry, it's forgivable because everything else about it is really well-done. Jason and Jude Law both put on acting clinics, they're so good in it. All the acting is good in fact.
We just got done with Ep 6 which was a freaking CRAZY episode, there's 2 more still. Looking forward to seeing how they wrap it up
