This is literally why I watch it and only why. This is Jason Bateman playing Jason Bateman playing a money launderer.

Deadpan, emotionless, is exactly how I would perceive someone in his position if they were good at it from a long term career perspective. It's why Walter White failed, too chaotic.

Bateman is meh but he does just fine as the fish out of water, guy in over his head with a reserve of toughness only accessible in the most dire situations, etc. However, I’ve been infatuated with Laura Linney’s acting since The Truman Show. Not sure what it is but she always seems to be able to creep me out while also making my weiner twitch. She makes the show watchable for me. Other than that I just think it’s a really well made show even if it isn’t TOTES AMAZE. Beautiful scenery shots too.
It's a pretty dimly lit show to begin with. It wouldn't surprise me if HDR/DV amplifies that problem

Finished s2 in two days. It holds the general discomfort throughout. You know where it's going, expecting the ball to drop at any minute. Setup perfectly to end there, and also fully capable of another good season. Unlike shows like Weeds that continued without any real reason to do so. A+.
