Begrudgingly made it through episode 5, but couldn’t get through the rest. Usually when I start something I’ll see it through, but this “true” story was so contrived, so soap opera, so unbelievable that I was totally uninvested in the characters or the plot. I had looked forward to watching this because I love Dennis Quaid (who actually did a good job considering the horrific script), but it was disappointing.

My husband and I loved this movie. Great acting…and Daisy Ridley, who we just saw in The Marsh King’s Daughter (also an excellent movie), is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

I went from loving it to hating it to thinking it was ridiculous to thinking it was humorous to thinking it was heartbreaking to thinking it was disturbing to thinking it was touching…..in every single episode. I felt for each of the main characters….and then despised them with every fiber of my being….back and forth, over and over again. Total roller coaster ride of a show. Casting and acting was phenomenal. I’m completely obsessed with Katey Sagal now - what a talent. And Charlie Hunnam….I mean, come on. The man’s face literally changes as his character changes. Unbelievably good. I would have given it 5 stars except for the level of violence (can’t believe this was on FX!) and the number of times I had to hear the women call the men “baby”. Barf. 😂

After watching Narcos (excellent) and Narcos Mexico (good), this is a disappointment. Slow, hard to follow, melodramatic, sub-par script. Not worth the time.

Two stars only because we were able to get through it. Movie had a potentially hysterical plot, and Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin made it bearable, but Adam Devine could be the least funny and most cringy actor out there. Any other actor cast as the lead could have made it work better, even with the weak script.
