I decided to give this show a try and halfway through season 1. Some good performances but the writing is very uneven. There have been a couple of episodes could have been entire seasons.

I like the premise of the inner working of a hedge fund and a detailed look at white collar crime but it's not really going deep enough on either of these topics for my liking.

It doesn't have the outlandish of Wolf of Wall Street or the drama and top notch writing of Succession but those are impossibly tough comparisons. It is entertaining enough and I'm hoping it finds more of a stride in subsequent seasons.
