I thought it was weak and I'm disappointed. This is a network quality show that they can get away with more violence on.
It's cheesy, the story is shallow, there are blatantly forced dramatic moments inserted which don't help the story it all. Carlton Cuse is trash.
Imagine adding Jordi Molla, Noomi Rapace and Michael Kelly, while already having Wendell Pierce and this is what you end up with. I'm really actually kind of sad about this show because I was so excited for it.
If Amazon wanted some serious shows to compete with Netflix and HBO they actually have to look at the shows they're competing with. Cuse is out as showrunner, thank Christ, but they've replaced him with a guy from ####ing Prison Break. I'll check out season 3 when it comes out, but I'm no longer excited for this show to come around.
