This show actually came out of nowhere for me, but on first helping I'm all in.
In England this was just signed up by Amazon as an 'exclusive' and, unlike their recent 'original' (the collection) this (from TNT in the states) is actually really rather good on all accounts. It's a medium burn affair and has (to my ridiculously poor memory) more in common with Point Break than the original film. Where the film was brutal and unforgiving (emotionally, mainly, but also physically) this is a slightly more laid back affair on the whole, but there's an underlying brooding ... perhaps that's the sound work, but credit to all performances.
Through the washed out lens we're already given a slight haze, and through the lens of Finn Cole's "J" we're given more haze. He's shaken, though, and major adjustments are all we're seeing for him.
Where this goes next I am actually really begging to find out, and hope that the tone and intensity (of key performances) can be kept up.
Highly recommend watching this first episode, I have an inkling that the whole thing will be worth it.
