Pretty big Fincher stan here and this was, like, ok. I got the commentary about this perfectionist that immediately fucks up massively after pretentiously monologuing about rules for a perfect assassin, that's neat. But I didn't know or care about anyone in this movie getting murdered, including the girlfriend or the main character. And I'm sure that was an intentional choice to not spend any time on characters, but it made it hard for me to get invested in anything that's happening. Will this random guy in Florida that I've never seen before get killed, or will he successfully fight back against the hired killer we just saw murder an innocent person? Will sparing the last guy be a mistake? I dunno, whatever. Cinematography, sound design, all the execution basically was great, some scenes and fights were too, but overall I can't say I felt much in the end.

The movie reminded me that I've never seen Mindhunter. It's so good. Has kind-of similar look and production quality but I actually care about Holden and Bill and what they're trying to do.

I'm just on episode 4 now. It stays pretty low-key so if you really didn't like the first episode, it just might not work for you. But maybe give another episode or two a shot

Hmm I wouldn't say it's terrible, maybe a bit weaker in part thanks to having to spend time to establish everything and not really getting into the meat as much. But I almost always find the first episode of a series to be a bit rough even if it's not through any specific fault, just because it takes me some time to get familiar with characters and what's going on. The later episodes are better but not like fundamentally different in my opinion.

I haven't seen all of S1 let alone S2, but checking the review scores it seems to stay fairly consistent. I'm sure someone could dislike it of course but I wouldn't preemptively bail on it.
