Well written and tight
The show is gritty and graphic. There’s nothing cartoonish about it. This is a great counterpart to Christopher Nolan’s Batman. In fact, I’d say this breaks Marvel’s line.
It’s a shame
I hope it might get a second season, but I know this is limited. HBO has a legitimate hit on its hands. Check out our rundown of ‘Yellowstone’ Season 5 Part 2, ‘Squid Game’ Season 2, and more of the most anticipated new and returning series on TV and streaming.
