Run

First of all, I wonder if this was meant to be a one-off/1 season series? I just cannot imagine it going into a second season.

If Ruby and Billy can't come to a decision by the end of 7 episodes then I'll probably lose interest. I'm already wondering what they're going to do to fill the remaining 4 episodes - I've just finished watching episode 3...

There are the lives of other people involved in their decision to "RUN". Unfortunately, as I see it, no matter what they decide IT. WILL. NOT. END. WELL. for some of them.

Just one ep in but I was expecting something better. So far the chemistry between the two leads is a tad annoying. I like Gleeson quite a bit but Wever seems a mismatch for sure. I'm holding out hope it's much more than what it seems to be.

Too much, yet too little. So close, yet so far. It was a good show if you are a patient person. I can see what they tried to do with the direction of the show, but it seemed like there were too many directions so it went nowhere. The jokes could have been great but fell short just a bit which ended up making them awkward to the extent of making the entire show almost anxiety inducing. It needed tidying up for the humour the writers were trying to recreate to be successful. Either the writers/editors rushed it or they looked over it too many times and messed around with it.

This is for first episode only, I was really looking forward to this based on seeing the HBO trailers for the last 2 months. Unfortunately it's not exactly what I thought it would be. The story, so far, is a bit of a convoluted mess and the stars don't have any chemistry with each other, especially any that I'm interested in watching. HOWEVER there is a lot of potential and I'll keep watching and revise my rating as the story develops.

Update: After second episode I'm just not digging it. Why would I spend time watching a couple, who have left their current partners, try to have an affair with each other while being completely dysfunctional and lacking respect or even affection for one another? It's an interesting concept very poorly executed. It's not funny, it's actually cringe inducing. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, everything you touch does not turn to gold. Changing review from 5/10 to 4/10 and likely won't watch the remaining episodes.

Feels like these 2 characters are so forced and I'm really struggling to care at all what happens to them. For an HBO show, very disappointing...
