This is the show that I currently like the most. As I write, I just finished last night's episode 10, with only 1 left.
I was a little uncertain at the start, yet another gangster war, with Chris Rock in a role that seemed a little out of his wheelhouse. And a lot of quirky characters, I kind of thought quirky just to be quirky.
But I'm fully into it. The music is just amazing. Old blues and gospel, and some very old school orchestral scores. The photography is equally good, the snowy midwest, both country and city.
And the various story lines blend and intersect, and the quirky characters start to make sense, and I am left after each episode wanting to know what happens next.
Influences clearly from Wes Anderson and David Lynch, and the previous episode 9 went a bit out of reality in the Lynch sort of way. Really good.
