Just finished up the show, Colin Farrell was spectacular as an actor, but the wahmaning, victim writing, and poor story structure sucked the life out of the otherwise genuinely good parts. I don’t know if it was the female showrunner or writers or what, but you could have entirely removed the female “rival (but secret actual main character)” from the entire series and the show would have drastically improved. They had gold with a Colin Farrell playing Tony soprano trying to scumbag his way to the top and nearly half the series episodes instead revolve around a girl boss “finding herself” after being a victim. It’s so fucking tiresome anymore that something can be a solid 7-8 tv show if you just completely remove half of it because it’s female victim porn.

I started watching because I heard the 4th episode was one of the most viewed/rated ever on IMDB or something and was sorely disappointed by it. That episode was nothing special, nothing that I haven't seen better realized elsewhere.
Aside from that, the series is meh. The main character acts well I suppose, but I don't care about him succeeding since he has no redeeming qualities. You don't really root for anyone, which means the show has no emotional impact.
