Trent Sullivan

2.5 star review. Season 1 is EASILY FIVE STARS⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️the show only goes majorly downhill from there. S2 is confusing but still has great characters and character development. Get to season 3, and EVERYTHING is straight up thrown out the window. Half the season is tripped out flashbacks that end up having no meaning whatsoever (watched the entire series). I cannot begin to fathom just what the writers were smokin or the thinking (and I’ve smoked it all). I can deal with and enjoy not the best writing whilst still enjoying a show, but it’s truly unacceptable what I hey have done here. Again S1 gave super high hopes for later seasons. Quite literally EVERY plot point is entirely ditched from the rest of the show immidesiatlu after viewing. I’m talking plot point that you have invested HOURS into. Everything with each season has nothing to do with the last. S1 characters are very memorable, there was so much they COULD have expanded on in season 1.SO MUCH! However they didn’t! Not one bit. It turned into Billy’s journey with depression and addiction which even I myself have always struggled with, so I truly get it the message there. Yet I watched on, for Billy Bob Thortons’s sake since I came directly from watching S1 of Landman,which is phenomenal by the way, Billy had to have been so confused with these writers and directors during this show as well. He nails the acting, AS ALWAYS, but goddam does this show not make a lick of sense. I did really enjoy how they brought on “the Lincoln lawyer” to play the cartel leader in season 2. It did at least show some acknowledgment that (at least based off season 1) that this was another badass lawyer show. I feel this is where the writers started to loose sight of what the show could and would have been. They tried SO hard to make it not just another lawyer show(s2-s4 really isn’t ABOUT anything to do with being a real life bigtime lawyer except for small portions in S4, arguably tiny portions s of S3)but failed in that process I would say likely due to crunch time writing and just plainly wanting to be different. I believe they lost sight of what was originally planned for the show after seeing the MAJOR success of Netflix’s premiere lawyer show “The Lincoln Lawyer” which I have also seen all current seasons off-an easy 4-4.5/5 show only loosing points due to unnecessary political culture stuff on small occasions. I watch streaming services on average 6+ Hours EVERYDAY. So as you could imagine I have watched just about everything out there over the years. It is VERY uncommon for me to get so into a series/show/ movie that it becomes noteworthy in mine own free time-even more so to take the time to make a review. Billy Bob Thornton is a phenomenal actor and never fails to nail it. As he did in Landman and American . If only the writers had any real plan or knew what they were doing for this show……I would be Writing a 5+ Star Review right now, BUT IM NOT.

I watched the entire series all the way through season 3. I’d have given the series one star, but it does a good job of tying up all the plot points. Each rescue scene is LAUGHABLY AWFUL. A major portion of this show is hitting on current hot topics, which has each outcome coming out to be very corny. I was extremely sick of when I binged this show, and the only reason why I didn’t stop watching after the first 2 episodes was because it was just interesting enough to keep me watching, but not interesting enough to make me care about missing anything. I slept for a good portion of some of the episodes, which is absolutely not something I would do with any tv show I am genuinely enjoying. The way the show tries to grab you in the first episodes is entirely based on mystery. Mystery which is never even explored properly. It’s used merely as bait to grab your attention only to jump off a cliff
