I got caught up and I like it. I'm interested in seeing where it's going. It is an incredibly subversive and degenerate piece of work.
It does this thing where it introduces the sleezy or the bizarre and the show looks like it's going in one direction (in line with the assessment of the main detective dude) before slowly reframing plot elements and character traits as reasonable or even wholesome. Good acting, good camera work, good writing, interesting characters, massive degeneracy. I'm not sure I've seen anything like it.

100%. I almost checked out after episode 2, but the way they start swerving you to the point where you're becoming sympathetic to these ultimately kinda shitty people is pretty wild.

Finished it up tonight.
I don't think it's a recommend. It feels like the whole point is to introduce people to bizarre fetishes, cuckoldry, face-sitting, etc. with a coat of wholesomeness/naivety.
Well shot, good acting, I was interested in seeing where the story went, incredibly degenerate.

The payoff on the broken dick story was alright but yeah, it was weak. There was a spot in the interrogation room when I thought we were really going to go somewhere crazy or dark or comedic or all three and no. No we do not.

Yeah, I thought they were going for the "twist" angle toward the end there, but it just kind of fizzles out.
Like I said, you do inevitably feel bad for a lot of these characters, and then remember what degens and shitty people most of them are. It's almost like it's written from a female perspective at times. Especially since most of their decisions are their fault, but they try to blame "other" things besides their own shitty behavior - shunning agency, essentially.
Really good acting (besides the black detective, who behaves like a total autist most of the time) but I'm also glad it was just a "one and done" series.

I'll caveat this with I haven't watched this yet and only read this thread to see if I should, but this seems a lot like Jason Bateman's MO lately. Just shows about total pieces of shit. Like he's either trying to absolve himself of some personal guilt, or admit it, or live out his deepest vices.
