I've watched 4 eps. It's becoming a slog to get through them.

I gave up at episode 6 or 7. Can't remember. It's negatives outweighed the positives at some stage for me.

i haven't seen this yet but reading comments on the web it seems this is in bad taste making a Tarrantino type/dark comedy on the holocaust, history's greatest atrocity

am i right in saying that?

I dunno, I like a lot of others just gave up after 4 or 5 episodes. It's tiring and hard work, not particularly funny and somewhat cartoonish. The characters are all crap in my opinion and dark comedy is a stretch as nothing is particularly funny. I suppose someone could make the above statement and its difficult to dispute but I didnt find it funny.

Just a potential decent story badly told IMO

It's not really a dark comedy; the first few episodes definitely go for a Grindhouse, pulp look to it but then it gets kinda dropped as the series and stakes go on and up. The main plot is very melodramatic and a bit silly. As to offence, well I'm not Jewish but can't imagine its trivialising of Holocaust brutality would have gone down well with some.

ok, so i binged the first 4 episodes over the weekend and it's definitely a lazy Tarantino copy & paste job of pulp fiction, inglorious basterds & kill bill all rolled into one.

the saturday night fever dance routine at coney island was just plain dumb and the

eat sh!t scence

was disgusting and was just included for shock value it went too far for me, and having the holocaust as a backdrop to all this nonsense is in bad taste imo

if i was jewish or german i'd be offended by this,

but now that i've started, i'll watch the rest of it....does it improve?

Jennifer Jason Leigh to be the lead in season 2.

I think it would have been better if they've made this into a serious thriller/drama instead of this gobbledygook comic book nonsense

For some reason I was convinced this has been cancelled. I see previous claims there were 5 seasons worth so ... whoops. At least they have one more to wrap it all up
