I didn't expect to like this when I watched the first episode last week because I'm not really a Stallone fan. Let's face it, his fame is from playing dumb angry guys and it's a different world we live in these days.
But I've been pleasantly surprised here. I've watched the first two episodes now and they're well thought out and well carried out.
I like the modern angles that they've thrown in, like the weed farm. And I also like that they didn't make Stallone's character woke which seems to be the trend in television these days.
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing how the season plays out!
EDIT: I just finished watching Episode 6. They're convoluting the story with too much family drama. Sometimes less is more and we don't need the plot going in a dozen different directions. I'm removing a star from my original rating because it's making the episodes slightly less enjoyable. If I wanted family drama, I'd watch a sitcom.
