Try not to fuck with apple.
Go ahead and enjoy the shows, just don’t give them any money. Course idk if this show is even worth watching for free but Apple has had some winners.
It’s definitely an acquired taste. If you like classic films, noir, hardboiled detective, or a just a fan of creative direction and cinematography then I think you’ll enjoy it. You can tell the people making it are complete film geeks; their love for all of that stuff shines through very strong. However, the characters are mostly uninteresting/underdeveloped and as far as neo-noir mystery goes it’s nothing special. I’m personally a big fan of the “private detective in LA” trope and the interior monologue (narration) from the main character plays into that, so I enjoyed it. The sci-fi twist comes very late and will presumably have more of an impact in the second season.
It’s…okay. Not amazing or anything, but I enjoyed the production quality and set designs. The story is alright, detective noir. They ended S1 with a pretty big cliffhanger that completely changes the tone of the show, so if you just judge it by that, it can be frustrating.
I disagree by 55%
