I will say it was good enough to keep me watching. It seemed to be a story of two brothers who habitually make poor life choices. Certainly the older brother fails to appreciate how his decisions lead to the outcomes he experiences and he deflects responsibility onto others with annoying regularity. I felt the root of their drama, the past experience of their father’s demise, is somewhat flattened in arc because it seems like just another bad experience in a long line of bad experiences. It felt like the outcome of the series was less artful than intended, sort like a sunken soufflé.

This series is literally like watching a car wreck; you don’t want to see it but you can’t turn away. The realism is amazing; the processing of the young boy in the police station is brilliant work. The acting is skillfully crafted; the story horrifying. It really is art and realism to the highest level.
