I didn’t realize who Schwarzenegger was until I looked at the cast list, but then there’s that scene where he’s in the pool and you can only see the top half of his face and for some reason just that part looks just like Arnold.

Also when he smiles, you can see the Arnold in him.

I really liked the first ep. Setting everything up.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I agree it was underwhelming. Goggins and Posey were both great, none of the other characters grabbed me yet.
you guys are nuts.

this series is masterful at sucking me in first ep. just enough low key character development, and how they all may or may not interact with each other.

then there's the setting and how the amazing cinematography treats it.

underwhelmed, please.

I didn’t ask but he’s treating himself. (Mid life crisis tbh. Doing all the backpacking he never did etc)

It’s very very bloody fancy though. Sent me some mad pics and videos.

agreed. Spike is the man. I love the shot of the guy in the pool checking out ladies like a shark. They're hinting at a lot, letting you get to know the place and setting things up without giving anything away. Great episode.

Remember that time you flew to Southeast Asia chasing unrequited love? The world was never the same again.
