Featured review
Has a few highs, but overall a dreadful bore-fest
The enormously well-received series starts strong with an incredibly powerful pilot episode, and a very interesting second one. But that's where the charm ends, and the show becomes obsessed with incredibly boring white characters. I dragged it out till episode 8 so far, and will definitely finish the show - but I think it should just have ended at Episode 2.
Arnold Ridgeway - the most pathetically boring character invented in 2021.
