Does any one else hate this show?
It's not often a program jumps the shark from the get-go, especially the expensive, cable ones.
The premise is inscrutable, the script tells us nothing about the characters motivation, the acting is wooden. Is Lenny crazy? Is he playing the long con? Is he yanking our chain? Impossible to know, as his character changes his mood like he doesn't change wardrobes. Even the opening credits, when Lenny smiles and winks at the camera contradicts his actual actions in the program, so far at least.
I'll grant you, the cinematography is gorgeous, but so was it in Heaven's Gate. But then, Heaven's gate made more sense than this program. A rambling collection of great shots does not a mini-series make.
Oh I'll keep watching. But it will be a struggle not the throw my remote at the screen.
