This series is not for everyone; it certainly did nothing for me. I found it pretentious and superficial.
Robert De Niro's name is listed first, but he makes a token appearance. It's obvious they used his name in this series to drawn in an audience.
The production is fine (acting, camera, etc.), but it lacks an actual story. There's hardly anything to write about!
The series is drifting in the wake of an old gentleman who lives life on his own terms.
Good for him, but is there something to learn from it?
When all was said and done, I learned nothing from this show, and I was not entertained. It didn't ellicit any emotions because I could not relate to the character.
Following someone without being moved, or inspired, is a waste of time. Reality TV would be an improvement over this series. (I don't condone watching reality TV, I just used it to compare)
And why make an entire series for something that doesn't add-up, provides no new information, and doesn't instill any feelings? Well, the answer is simple: streaming content is paid by the length. So stretching anything into series became the norm.
At this time, there are only 2 user reviews here, both raving about this show. I often discard extreme ratings, and artsy-fartsy reviews, unless backed-up by logic.
To any event, I learned it's best to judge by yourself, and not be influenced by strangers' opinions.
So go ahead and give this series a try, if you have time to waste.
