    looks very clichéd, but Farrell is usually good value

    Having said that I've just remembered he was True Detective 2 which was awful and which this trailer reminds me of...

    I thought Dennis Boutsikaris was Al Pacino 🙈

    I am getting Ray Donovan vibes and also I am the Night

    Have watched the first 3 episodes and am really enjoying it.

    I'm enjoying it but the episodes feel a bit short for a weekly drop… was just getting into episode 3 and it was over after 30+ minutes.

    Might get sick of it by the end. Enjoyed the first 2, 3rd not so much.

    Getting fairly bored of this after a few episodes - we get it, he is a good soul caught up in a violent world and may have taken one job too many (we don't need his minder to ask him this in every conversation) - its just all a bit too obvious.

    I think the main character annoys me too much - he is casually catching flys with chopsticks, alcohol has no effect on him etc etc, is he a spy, superhero, robot or what? He isn't suave enough to pull it the slick spy routine, isn't hard enough to be the battle weary journeyman. Looks too worried all the time to be a man pulling all the strings, yet he seems to be playing a suave, battle hardened super spy. It's just a bit all over the place for me

    I wonder is there more going on here than meets the eye, some of the phrasings in this episode about learning from movies... people trying to find out "what" you are.

    So this is just my speculation below but will wrap it in spoilers tags.

    Could Sugar be a guardian angel?

    Maybe we are in Angelheart type territory.
