      I also thought it was just so-so!!!  The episode started in a strange period of the family history.  Maybe more family background would have set up the show.  I will watch but hope the past history gets explained.


@corita, the reviews were very good, maybe we need to give it a chance.

I think this will be a slow burn show like "Billion's" which started slow also.  I liked it.  They basically did background last nght.

Matthew Macfadyen who plays Tom is the one to watch. He is doing the comic relief.  He is a wonderful actor.  All of the critics agree.  I hope he still wants to do this series for Season 2.  He lives in London and has two children.  He possibly may not want to live in New York for half the year.

       So I watched the 2nd episode and the story got a bit better.  But I can't say that I care about anyone in the group.  Everyone is so self absorbed and nasty!!!

I am recording but have not yet watched. I just read today that HBO has renewed for a second season so I guess someone must like the show.

I am thinking it is a slow burn kind of show.  I did not like Billions or Homefront initially, but love them now.

Have watched the first episode and will watch second tonight. I just wish that every other sentence did not contain the F word. Seriously, it is too, too much!

I have been watching this from first episode and love it.  Really good acting/storyline and it does kind of remind me of Billions which I also loved.  Good to hear it has been renewed for another season.
