Reviews

I heard such disdain for this film. I gave it a chance today and can't understand all the negative reviews, but seems to be the new norm, so best to make one's own decision. It's interesting, eccentric, flamboyant, acting is awesome all around & keeps one engaged. I found myself researching the characters during pauses. The Gucci family did their share of disfunction. Patrizia was a driver and had great vision, but suffered from blinder's and a sickness. Its a shame. She could've been a Gucci contender, lol.

Killing for greed. Messed up. Nope. Not for me. Shut it down after they killed monks to steal their artifacts. BS. It's no wonder peeps are respecting life less these days (Amongst many other reasons). But, this very popular show certainly does not expound love and expectance.

The acting was excellent. I loved that it was shot in both Tel Aviv and NYC (Gritty and beautiful). Nice to see actors I have never seen before. Lior Raz (CRUSH), Sanaa Latham, Moran Rosenblatt and Gal Toren shine! I really wanted more of Gal Toren; he's massively diverse (look him up). The cinematography was interesting and I found intense. The camera's POV was either from a drone or from a high rise (scaffolding?); there were many aerial POV's. I honestly wondered if this meant the characters were being spied on elsewhere). They are not. Also, the way the DP lingered on many faces was trickery manipulation because I felt many of the characters could possibly have been involved in the murder. Some were; I found later, which kind of pissed me off. I didn't mind the dark scenes as many have mentioned in their reviews. I absolutely can't wait to see season 2.

I read reviews before I watched and was going to pass, but I really liked the cast. I hit play. I finished all 10 episodes in 2 day. It reminds me of an enjoyable, dare I say, all American classic film.There are cliches and they hit every proper box. There are no back stabbers, murders, Sci-Fi martian types, nor heavily sedated sex scenes.They cuss, so not sure it's for the youngsters, but I would think families would love to watch together as long as the F bomb is tolerated on occasion. With all that is going on in the world and all the stress - it was perfect.

Some of the art direction drove me nuts for a second, but all in all a must watch.

Terrorist in any form is frightening, but when there is a plane and innocent lives involved it's a trifecta of pure fear. The writing, acting, directing and POV of basically filming the cockpit was brilliant.

May I suggest a PART II and only have POV of the passengers and crew? It would be an interesting and thought provoking sequel.

We need so many more leaders like Benjamin. It's a different side of perspective history that we don't hear about often; so much of what is heard pertains to present day. Listen. We, as a people, need more clarified examples of clear and sound morals and ethics that Ben spoke.
