Any one catch this on AMC. Catching the first episode now, looks good so far!

It does look good. Strong set up in the first episode. Not really seeing the mafia portion yet but strong on James Bond feel - man of mystery.

Haven't heard about this show. Looks like one I need to check out.

I haven't seen it but it gets my vote for stupidest show title so far this year.

I liked the first episode and am in for now. I have to agree with Para, though, about the title. What were they thinking?

The name was confusing to me too, but apparently there was a reference to McDonalds vs Burger King as compared to the Mafia business.
I guess you have to have been there to connect the dots.
Nevertheless I liked the first episode.

I saw the preview and got interested. I tbought the name of the show was going to have something to do with someone's family name. It kind of reminded me a little of The Night Manager.

I tried to watch this. Man, this show stinks up the place. Damn. Piss-poor acting and writing. Is a director even on-set when they're making this thing? Just incredibly bad. Boring and confusing.

What is it about? The title makes me think its some documentary about McDonald's business practices

I used the DVR and was watching the show - sometime halfway through the last episode I deleted the episode and went into menu and cancelled the whole series. The first couple of shows were okay, but then the plot just started wandering around and growing more diffuse. I was like what do these kidnapped girls have to do with some kid in England and these schmucks in the middle-east and those schmucks in russia, etc. Just too much loosely connnected boring shit...

It's about people reciting bad and confusing dialogue in unrealistc ways, and going nowhere fast. That's what I got out of it. Beyond that, I haven't a clue.

"Going Nowhere Fast"

Exactly. I found myself playing on my phone instead of actually watching the show - that's when I decided not to bother watching at all.
