Had such a good start, but turned into a soap opera
Really great premise, and the opening episode was a good starting point. unfortunately the drama that unfolded was more about bluster and posturing and the kind of drama that happens with a lot of talk and not enough doing. The dialog is average at best. I reluctantly finished the fist season to see if it got better.

"The Godfather. That’s two. One and two. Oh, it’s just epic, you know. It’s the best soap opera. It’s all those — you know, it’s the human drama and it’s exciting. And if it was done badly it’s like a soap opera in the afternoon, and you just realize that there are only so many stories that can be told, but when they’re told in the right way they’re beautiful and effective. So much of it is good, you know: The acting is good, the directing is subtle, withheld — so much of it in wide shots, with very few close ups. It takes balls to do that. I mean, it’s a different world now; close ups are the way people tell stories now. I don’t mind close-ups, I like them, but they’re kind of forceful — you see a lot, you get a lot of information in a close-up. There’s less mystery."
