Just watched this. Liked it a lot. Very stylish, and while not particularly deep I find with a caper/conspiracy you don't need the deepest characters as long as the conspiracies themselves are sufficiently engrossing. Tom Hardy is such a great actor, not necessarily in terms of empathy or dramatic chops, but he's highly entertaining to watch and he acts well with his body if that makes sense. His movements and postures are never robotic and highly expressive. Jonathan Pryce, seems to really love playing joyful badguys because he does it so well. The GI Joe movies sucked, but his portrayal of Zaratan as the President, was so over the top excellent that it stood out, and here he is again being joyfully evil and corrupt. It might be his niche but drat if he doesn't do a great job. Really good ensemble cast all around. Disappointed that the plot line with Oona Chaplin never went anywhere because it seemed like she'd have a bigger role but her entire plot was very tacked on to the rest of the story and if you'd completely deleted her from the show you probably could have gotten a tighter 6 episode show. I watched this show in more or less one sitting and I think that's the best way to watch these kinds of shows because they're like a movie stretched out over 8 hours. I can't really imagine that watching it on a week to week basis was as enjoyable because there's a lot of moving parts and it doesn't really work well to reflect on it. Looking forward to season two and more grunting. Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Also Tommy from Snatch turning into a convincing tough guy! Missed him as Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire? He was one of the standouts of that show.
