I watched the first show, got bored, stopped. Went back months later, watched a bit more. Stopped. Went back this past week determined to finish season one. I did but it took determination. I love Josh Brolin and Lily Taylor is a fine, fine actress. They are the reason I tried again and again - that and the hope for a compelling sci Fi scenario. However, after one entire season we are still waiting for the sci fi part. Oh, we've had allusions as to what it might be but that's it. An entire season is too long to make an audience wait, or at least very least it's risky. Next, it is the slowest, gloomiest TV show I've ever seen. Bar none. It is so heavy and dull. I'm getting exhausted writing about it. At times the show goes without background music and this show needs background music. I find the character development wanting too. Is everyone out West weird or crazy? I can't believe Amazon gave this show a second season after having canceled other shows that were so much better. Maybe the director will wake up for Season Two. The show couldn't get any slower than Season One.

I've only watched one show. I love Nicole Kidman so I stuck with it and tried to like it. However, I won't be watching another episode. To me it was a weird, slow, dark, depressing, confusing, boring, jumbled mess.

I've only watched the first episode so far and I enjoyed it. I loved the cast, the pace, the music, and the storyline The acting was top notch in my opinion. I would have given the show 4 and a half stars if that were an option. However, what's up with the set design and wardrobe all being matching colors? I suspect the idea was to capture the feel of the early 60s. To me the turquoise/pinkish/ rust/brownish hues throughout are both distracting and unrealistic. In many if not most scenes the characters are wearing the aforementioned colors. When have you ever seen a clawfoot tub that is turquoise inside and rust/ brown outside, or a turquoise movie projector? After a while with every scene change I found myself unconsciously trying to pick out the matching colors in each character's wardrobe (right down eyeglasses and suspenders), walls, furniture, floors, countertops, draperies, countertops, cabinets, etc. as though it were a game. The point is that the sets and wardrobe colors made me feel as though I were watching a televised play rather than a spy thriller. I'd rather have seen the show filmed in black and white or with people wearing a more realistic wardrobe. Set design and color schemes aside, all of the really important elements of a quality, fun-to- watch show are there and I, for one, look forward to how the rest of the season will develop - even if turquoise and friends are not my favorite colors.

I can't find one redeeming quality about this show.

Outstanding script, casting, acting, soundtrack/score and tempo. Gut wrenching. Each actor neither underplayed nor overplayed his/her role. All 3 leads are huge box office stars yet not one had to shine the brightest. Very realistic portrayals by every actor in the cast. Although the movie is about 2 and a quarter hours long it never drags. A must see.

If I could rate it zero I would have. Ridiculous story full of holes. Terrible acting. Was Jake Gyllenhaal that desperate? Got 3/4 of the way through and turned it off.

Lots of fun. Fantastic cast. Melissa McCarthy shines in everything she does. Jason Statham was absolute hilarious. Who knew he was so versatile? Jude Law was gorgeous and superb as always. Rest of supporting cast was terrific too. Just a fun way to spend an evening or afternoon. Pure escapism. Lord knows we need some of that these days. I would rate it 4.5 if it were possible.

Needed music, quicker pace, deeper character development. Would have been better as a mini series. I love Jim Carey but not in this movie. I can't recommend this movie. Too much is missing for my taste. A missed opportunity all the way around. I drifted off to sleep for a few minutes at one point.
