Charles Scheer

I don't understand negative reviews here. This is the best show on television right now. For today's most recent episode, I've been counting the days since last Wednesday. Riveting and super engaging. Transports me completely outside of my day-to-day. Also, wonderful location shots. Baghdad and Paris. Can't go wrong with those locations for a drama.

I thought season 2 was substantially better plot-wise, more cohesive, directed to a concrete story, and more interesting than season 1. Highly recommend this show!!

The first few episodes may be a bit slow or unclear as to the direction of this story. However, the story is well worth the wait. Episodes 5-10 are some of the most compelling storytelling I've seen in a long time. Beyond touching and painful, particularly as the parent of a young boy, this series has really left a mark on me. I will be thinking about it for quite some time. Well worth the watch and the time investment.

I was very mixed on this film the first time I watched it. However, I just watched the director's cut and came away with a completely different experience. 180 degree difference. This second time watching it I was completely absorbed and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think there is so much nuance and history here that it bears watching a second time, at least that was my experience. Upon the second viewing (again, bear in mind, the much longer director's cut), I would rate 5 out of 5. On the first viewing, I didn't rate but would have given a 2 out of 5. So I'd recommend to give this film another try if you watched it just when it initially came out.

Crazy good - that's all you need to know.

Really draws you in. Very well-done program. Keeps you guessing, and the mix of black-and-white and splicing in of "Old Hollywood" clips is super cool. I was hooked from the first minute. Also, the casting is top notch from Colin Farrell to many others.

Incredible - just incredible. Mr. Mendelsohn is literally Christian Dior. His performance transcends acting - in my opinion he literally becomes the character. This is an outstanding piece of work and very absorbing. In particular, the last episode is breathless. I kept skipping back and watching certain scenes over and over again. Highly recommended!

Gripping series. Well worth the build-up and the time investment. Really makes you stop and think.

I do not understand the negative reviews at all. I found this show to be engaging, thrilling and overall highly entertaining and interesting. The settings in Colombia and Venezuela added a lot of depth, and I found the acting to be outstanding particularly by Luke Evans. I finished the series roughly a week ago, and I still think about it every day. It really "haunts" my thoughts, especially the very much true-to-life ending. There are a lot of worthwhile messages and themes in the show, and I found it well worth watching. It reminded me of gripping military focused movies from years ago like Black Hawk Down. Just outstanding!

Absolutely riveting and a real psychological trip. Well worth watching.
