Finished watching this earlier in the week. Anyone else watched it? Interesting show, plot is extremely fluid/jumpy sort of like the first season of Fargo. Enjoyed it.

I loved it. Just my style of dark humor. The protagonist's expressions every time something goes wrong just kill me.

yikes. is the whole series like this?

I watched the first episode awhile back. Was waiting for follow on episodes. I've since forgotten the story and premise.

I'll take a look again after I finish Tin Star.

Not really. It isn't exceptionally violent if that stuff bugs you but it is a spy show and people do get killed of course. The filming style reminds me of Boondock Saints where the timeline jumps around some where you have an event and then a backstory.

for some reason, this series isn't quite for me. Still getting over the truck scene in the first 5 minutes.

But, I await the new Clancey based show next spring.

The best way I can describe this series to people is "Fargo meets Burn Notice". It's hysterical, but it is a very dark, absurd humor.

Agreed. One of my favorite series to watch. On a certain level, I can relate to John and what he is going through right now.

Excellent series.

Season two just dropped. Felt a bit slow at times but in the end I did like it still.

Best Description: If Wes Anderson made a Bond movie. Season One was great. Very entertaining.

Finished it this weekend. Season two kind of seemed to lose its mojo for a bit, but eventually recovered. I could have done without the full monty in season 2 (ep 5?). Hey no spoilers, but holy sh*t I wish someone had warned me. What has been seen cannot be unseen.
