Looks so awesome. The plot sounds totally bonkers (and I mean that in a good way too. ) really looking forward to this!

Well that's better, now that I can see it all clearly and stuff. I stand by my previous assessment that you cant really gauge a lot from the trailer, however at least I can now tell that it'll probably be a show that it great to look at, which I've come to expect from Mr. Refn.

I like the music and visuals but like the trailer cut is odd.

Literally just a series of stylish, neon lit shots of violence and people sitting in chairs. I am so down.

I love Refn but worry this might collapse under its own ambition, but really hope I'm proving wrong. I want a release date! I want a proper trailer! I want to binge this now!

^^^ Thanks for the link Viced! God damn this looks excellent. Refn is sending Miles Teller into a dark nightmarish descent into hell.
Teller has been impressing me lately (esp in Only the Brave) and he looks good here in a dark role . Ditto on Hawkes . I'm sure it'll be controversial and divisive (among audiences & critics alike) but this is a Refn project we are talking about here. I pretty much dig everything that guy has ever done so I'm pumped for this.

I love it when they call things groundbreaking when they haven't broken ground yet.

I watched the first episode this morning before I went into work.
So if you're on the fence about Refn or outright dislike him, this show doesn't look like it's going to convert you. It's everything Refn has been praised and derided for (in equal measure), but exponentially so. Its pacing could be described as deliberate or glacial, depending on your stance, and it certainly doesn't make it easy to get into. It is a neon-drenched morass of sin, and if there's any character in the series that tips the scale of morality in a positive direction, I've yet to meet them. Even the protagonist (Miles Teller) would be a sleazebag villain in someone else's show. He's not a sly, cocky ball of machismo like Vic Mackey; his Deputy Martin Jones is more of a silent lurker, a professed "creep" with a badge and gun. Refn seems to revel in using strong, silent types as his leads, but Teller doesn't have Ryan Gosling's cool magnetism, so Martin won't immediately hook you as One-Eye or Driver did.
Yet there is enough narrative meat to draw us deeper into Refn's world, and certainly his trademark style is out in force. Darius Khondji's already giving us his career-best work with Episode 1, with room to grow. Cliff Martinez's foreboding score drips in every scene like sweat. Refn's languid pace shows a corrupt world where no modicum of decency can survive. . . at least, not without a set of brass knuckles and a prayer. In terms of performances, Billy Baldwin is MVP so far.

2 episodes in so far. It does test your patience a bit from time to time (and I say that as a big Refn fanboy ) but I'm digging it overall. Its certainly "different" than anything on tv right now that's for sure.

I've had two stabs at getting through the second episode, not sure if I'll try again. It's nice to look at and the score is killer, but there are no shits to give.

Watched the first half of the series. I think everyone who survived the first 70 minutes of the second episode deserves some kind of a trophy. In fact, that trophy might as well be the concluding 25 minutes of the same episode because they're awesome. But it sure is hard to get to them because the bulk of the second installment is almost completely anti-audience, so much so that one is actually inclined to kinda respect Refn for going so hard on the slowness, the tedium and the boredom.
The real gem is the fifth part which works on just about every level. The other episodes felt like Refn in slow-mo, this one felt like Refn proper. I want the remaining five chunks of this "story" to stay in the same vein but I suspect we're gonna go back to a more meditative pace. And I do find some enjoyment in that pace. But so far it's only the fifth episode that felt genuinely special to me.
