After flirting with starting The Expanse on Amazon, I started The Investigation on HBO and feel like I'm going to stick with it. Very Scandinavian, very dour.

I don't think it's for me. I only watched the pilot, but nothing about it grabbed me at all.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I watched the pilot and the first half of the second episode, and the production value of the pilot was noticeably higher. Like they blew their wad on the first episode and then had to scale back.JuanHamm wrote:Mission accomplished, I guess.Simple Torture wrote:It's supposed to look awful.
