The majority of these high score reviews are for the first couple of episodes. Like many others have pointed out, they are absolutely fantastic. Ben Mendelsohn and Jason Bateman knock it out of the park.

Episode 3 is where the bait and switch happens. Jason Bateman directed the first 2 episodes and then never came back to do any others. It was a carousal of different directors after that point.

The pacing, dialogue, editing, tone and just about every single aspect of the show gets significantly worse as the episodes progress. So I'd recommend one of two things: Watch the first 2 and let your mind make up a better told story afterwards or just avoid it altogether.

Such a shame.
