Offbeat, slow burn dark comedy that will keep you on your toes. There are far too many characters but the storyline doesn't divert from its path. Two seasons of fun on Amazon Prime.


There's little coming out these days that interests me and this was definitely an 8 out of 10 for me but granted...it's not for everyone.

I tried to watch it. A couple of episodes in and I just didn’t feel compelled to go further. Maybe I need to try a few more episodes.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

It didn't really grab me either until maybe the 4th episode. It's very funny and naughty in places with some surprising situations that develop even deeper as it goes along. Even liked the way it ended.

This is also the most quotable series in the history of quotable series.
It's loaded.

This is the best written story and series I have ever experienced. Have watched it at least 5 times and I am not one to heap praise on any work but this will challenge the way you view and analyze what you watch on television moving forward. It is imho a masterpiece.

Give me a hint as to what it's about and where to find it.

Prime video & spy craft from what I’ve gathered. This’ll be one the wife and I try to binge on while on newborn lockdown for the next 2 weeks.

It's considered a dark comedy and it truly is funny but also very sad as you can feel the pain of the main character who acts on behalf of his father who works for the state department. I had to get used to the pacing but it works for this story as told in flashbacks. Comparable to the work of Wes Anderson. The cast is terrific.


Maybe this just hits all the right buttons for me but I can't stop watching it.
