    I'm halfway through episode 9. It got really good there for a few episodes. Now it feels like it's going to get dragged out from here.
    End of 9 and beginning of 10, while ridiculous, is pretty entertaining

    I expect a dip in storytelling later on as usual.
    So yeah the dip has started. Once they shifted from Meldensohn to the black chick the story has become quite draggy.

    The blown up car in the shootout; that's some Myth Busters sh** right there.

    I guess it held me over for other stuff like 'Ozark' Season 3.

    The last two episodes were utter trash.

    Everyone just became a dumbass and got themselves killed. HBO has fallen into this ty trend where they make a show that’s 90% excellent and then completely self destruct in the last 10%.

    Typical Stephen King. Compelling premise that sucks you in, pretty good ride until the third act when it all falls apart.
    This. After the first few episodes the show went downhill fast.

    Good actors in an typically thin and vapid Stephen King vehicle.
    The Holly character was another example of a Magical Negro -->>

    In the cinema of the United States, the Magical Negro is a supporting stock character who comes to the aid of white protagonists in a film. Magical Negro characters, who often possess special insight or mystical powers, have long been a tradition in American fiction. He or she usually has some sort of magical power, "rather vaguely defined but not the sort of thing one typically encounters." The character is patient and wise, often dispensing various words of wisdom, and is "closer to the earth".The Magical Negro stereotype serves as a plot device to help the white protagonist get out of trouble, typically through helping the white character recognize his own faults and overcome them and teaching them to be a better person. Although the character may have magical powers, the "magic is ostensibly directed toward helping and enlightening a white male character"

    After watching the series all I can say is it's forgettable. Seriously I can't remember much about it.
