Luca Guadagnino, Tilda Swinton, and Ralph Fiennes in a movie, that must be good. Well yes, it is kind of, but it does not really get there.
The main reason is, I think, that the story is too thin, we are never really going deep enough, there is too much idling and too many dead ends, to many things we have a glance at, but never have a chance to dig into and understand.
Tilda and Ralph is excellent as usual, but the rest has too little to work with. Preventing one of the main characters from speaking does not make it any easier, in a film that is that much about words.
The scenery is of cause brilliant, the images nice to look at. But there is just too little going on in this beautiful frame.

I had looking forward to this, the review were good, 8 stars on imdb, so how could it not be good.
Well it is not good, it's a cliché, build on the same pattern as so many series since early seventies. There is good and bad, there is high tension from start to finish, there is love and there is tough guys and gals, but it all empty and nothing. There is words that falls like concrete blocks and looks that are mend to mean a lot but is nothing but empty glare. There is characters as thin as those Japanese doors.
I gave it a chance, I lasted one whole episode, and I think I was brave.
Maybe I'm not made for shows like this.

This is yet another story about those who make big money on producing and distributing drugs. It has some god variants on the pattern, the main character actually want to stop, and he tries to avoid having too many killed, without much success though.
This series works the best, when it is really absurd, and it really is from time to time, these sequences are funny. A lot of this is based on really stupid folks doing stupid things, while others are trying to get things right.
There is very little acting here, the actors do not try to add depths to their characters, and its never a study in psychology, which some seems to prefer, to me it makes the persons uninteresting.
And that is the net result, uninteresting. I can't find any reason why I should spend time watching these flat characters fool around. So even if there will be new seasons of this, my journey stop here.
