As other reviewers mentioned, the short format of these episodes can try your patience, but I would recommend it.
After watching the full series, here's an update: by about episode 4, the overall energy lost momentum, and redundancy kicked in. I think it was the 7th episode which for me was the most powerful, because it took a deeper look at the themes. The final episode did not impress me too much. They gave a glimpse of the next Season, but it does not look as impactful. I do think that this show was a success in what it portrayed. There's fine writing and moody vibes throughout. Carell is one of our finest actors. If you have not seen his mesmerizing role in "Foxcatcher" (2014), check it out. It's also interesting that Carell's real life mom is a psychiatric nurse. Gleeson is also wonderful in his role. He quietly displays subtle facial tics which serve up a bit of dark comedy.
