Wife and I watched all 3 episodes over the weekend. She seemed bored. Not surprising because there are procedural dramas like Elementary and others that I began watching with her, but said go ahead, I really can't watch them anymore. I just got tired of the same old, easy to figure out plots and the nice shiny bow wrapped around each episode.
So TD has been a blessing. Just love the pacing of this show. Reminds me so much of a Coen brothers movie, like my favourite of all time, their first, Blood Simple. Pacing, dialogue and just overall writing has been amazing. Something as simple as him hanging up the pay phone and then looking back and walking back to check and see if the dime dropped back down again. Simple, yet effective. Very well done.
