I had some time off from work, so I blitzed through it pretty quickly. VERY well-done show, and SO much better than Netflix's "House Of Cards."
I can see why Bhairitu didn't catch the wave, because it's convoluted, non-linear storytelling, bouncing back and forth between past, present, and future and between reality and illusion. Not at all the kind of standard three-act procedural stuff he seems to like. Me, I loved it. The best storytelling takes its time, and cannot be either rushed or anticipated. Ben Mendelssohn will definitely get his Emmy nod for this one, and probably some other actors, writers, and directors who contributed to it as well.

The actor Ben Mendelssohn is incredible as a disturbed, back sheep adult returning to visit his family. All about family dynamics in a family who own a hotel in the Florida Keys (always a bit of a seedy spot). Sissy Spacek, Sam Shepard, Kyle Chandler (amazing), Leo Norbert Butz. So gripping I could only watch one episode at a time and had to recover for 24 hours.
