Like I said, Nathan Lane was the one to watch in this. But overall, I felt it was just too disjointed and lackluster. Every single episode had a piece of business that kept me on the line to watch the next installment, but not one story thread was powerful enough or cohesive enough to carry this alone in this particular presentation.
I absolutely loved that Nathan Lane had a look-at-the-pretty-flowers moment, that was priceless. But the heavy handed final words were cheap I thought. True. But cheap. It was like I watched this whole thing play out just to be woke. It was a mediocre after school special. The final look into the camera with accompanying declaration came off as gimicky to me.
But, having said all that, if they come back with a season 2 of City of Angels, I will watch it just to be a visual completist.

I keep doing a drive-by on a new one, Curon.
I stayed with Season 1 because of Christmasland, the kids and Zachary Quinto. They have been fantastic. But I could not care less about Vic McQueen. She's the very bottom of care less.
I have not read the book so maybe if I had, I would appreciate this person's portrayal of the character. My focus wanders everytime I have to listen and watch her dysfunction that just never rings genuine for me. I don't feel her fear, dread, insecurities or determination. They want me to feel all those things and I don't.
Hopefully Charlie Manx eats her bloody eyeball with some fava beans and good Chianti, ppffffttt ppfffftttt ppfffftttttt.
And I own every season, but recording them makes it a button away from, "just one more thing."
I still have all of seas 3 of Killing Eve to watch, all the new Penny Dreadful, Snowpiercer, Perry Mason and Hightown and NOS4A2 to check out too. Have only been recording, not much watching!
The only thing we are staying up to date with is Yellowstone. Still have this week's episode to watch, but night shifts right now, so maybe Friday night.
@cat -- I haven't seen the movie and you have, so when you watch the series, let me know what you think about the differences and similarities and which you liked better. Or the strengthens and weaknesses between the two as you see them.
I may need to watch the movie.
I'm recording season 2 and hopefully it is a standalone that doesn't rely too much on backstory (that they might not give in the new season) so I can enjoy it without being out of the loop on the characters.
I've started the Polish one.
