This has been a bit of a setback for HBO so far ... The 60-minute episodes are way too slow and far too little happens to keep it interesting. Furthermore, a lot of cliché drama situations happen that we have already seen 100 times. Then there is the separate storyline between Ramon and his psychologist Farid, but I don't find that interesting either, it's still exciting. Watched 6 eps so far, so maybe it will get even better, but don't have that much faith in it anymore.
I have to say now that I'm at ep 9 it starts to get a bit more interesting :) It's still not like I'm saying "everyone should see this", but it's starting to be worth it :).
