Was thinking wow this is slow, but maybe it's going somewhere. Winslet's studied accent and body language were very convincing.

But then, without warning, Mr. Memento, Mr. Prometheus, Mr. Without Remorse turns up. The Angel Of The Kiss Of Death Of Artistic Credibility sprays his hideously badly practiced accent, rudimentary acting chops and apalling filmographic history all over the show.

And, oh yeah, that's right. It's HBO...

NOW it all comes together.

This is going to just be a tedious drama with bits and piece of murder mystery stuffed into the gaps. That goes on. And on. And on.

With all these gushing 9 and 10 reviews that appear now that every single studio marketing department on the planet has discovered how to bulk buy IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic review.

Nope. Can't do it to myself. Got better things to do and better things to watch.

Thanks Guy! You are a reliable indicator. We should nickname you The Canary.
