Outstanding start that lost its way
Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura were all I needed to press play. Their past work had earned my trust. Add Ving Rhames - the legendary Marsellus Wallace himself - and this felt like a sure thing. Episode one delivered: a mystery wound tight, the pace relentless, the action precise. It pulled me in and refused to let go.
But somewhere around the third episode, the wheels started to wobble. The story lost its focus, drifting from thread to thread, unsure where it was heading. The sharp edges dulled. The bite vanished. Momentum collapsed into a slow, heavy crawl.
By the time the final episode arrived, whatever tension the series had built was long gone. Answers were tossed out carelessly, long after anyone cared to ask the questions. A promising start crumbled into a tedious, disappointing finish.
