So maddening. I doubt I will ever attempt to watch another show on AMC. Ever. This series was cut to pieces with commercials, I counted 13 in a row at one point. At least one scene in each episode was truncated to accommodate them. It was really jarring.
With closed captioning on, the sound cues ran over the subtitles. It was hard enough understanding the narrative, with its time jumps and French language, without being able to understand the dialog.
Although it was certainly attractive to look at, dark and moody, it didn't seem very coherent. I love Noir, and Hammett, and really wanted to like it, but it left me cold.
