I tried watching it but it's so bad. Props to the people who do watch and enjoy but I just can't from the acting to the story it's like a bad rip off of a rip off.

I like it ok but I think Chris Pratt was miscast. He isn’t a very good actor, at least not in this. 

While watching I kept thinking of Bradley Cooper in American Sniper and how much better he was than Chris is in this.

I’m intrigued by the mystery but significantly less so by the execution. I really wish they had leaned more into the conspiracy thriller and less into the shoot ‘em up action. It makes the show less interesting and feels tone deaf in light of current events. If they would have cut most of the beginning and ramped up the gaslighting for at least a couple of episodes it could have created something really interesting. Instead I was just waiting for it to hit the obvious plots and found it hard to stomach some scenes.

Completely agree with this. It’s the mystery that kept me watching. It will be a short series for me since I’m zipping through all the shootouts. 😄
