I was hooked right from the start. I watched all four episodes in one sitting. I am a huge fan of both Stanley Tucci and David Tennant, so imagine how thrilled I was to see both. Not once did I ever make a snide comment about how implausible the story was in spots, but was swept up in the story like it was ripped from the headlines. The writing was so well done in tying the two storylines together that I never felt it was predictable. I hope there is another season very soon. I recommend this show highly. No reality TV, no high speed car chases, not saying I don't like those things, but it is hard to find variety these days. I am especially glad these two actors haven't gone the way of some (shall I say older) actors just acting in one stupid move after another..

So good! I am loving this series, only having started last night and making it to Episode 3 S1. THEN when I had more of an idea what the premise was, I went back and started at the beginning of Season 1. I am completely dialed in and thoroughly enjoying the plot, characters and how well the show flows. The fact that it is absolutely a mind blowing.concept to me, it is so well done that I never for once slip into a moment of "that's not possible" or think of a scene as cheesy. I have been having trouble finding a series that I have to watch "just the next episode" over and over.

Plenty of adventure, mystery, horror, action.to check all the boxes for my kind of series. Excellent!

Also, the references to the '80s and the actual items some of us used as part of our childhood, have pulled me in with a warm nostalgic feeling. It also makes it fun to look at some of the vintage things still here and laugh at some of the not so fond memories of bad outfits, etc. A great mixture for all ages to enjoy.

I was ok for about 15 minutes, but after that I could not stand the way Ellroy spoke. If I had seen these before knowing or seeing anything else about him or by him EVER, I would have asked why they were letting him tell his own story. Maybe other people can listen to his narration, but I cannot. He talks the same way, every single time, every single sentence, and to me it is extremely off putting. Could not finish...sort of like the nails and the chalkboard thing.
