In the casting at least.
Actors you would have thought had long been put out to pasture.
But these are aging heavyweights. They have class that guys in Twilight can only dream of.
They come together to provide an intriguing look at the underbelly of horse racing.
The language is ugly but natural. Characters speaking instead of actors abusing on cue.
No inexplicably nude women.
No spoon feeding either. Characters don't take the time to explain insider terms. You will have to educate yourself if you care enough to follow the show.
No shock and awe opening which is then strung out into interminable episodes.
Start is discouraging. Story seems aimless. Show looks like a dead end. But as you sit bemused, it sneaks up on you. By the end of the pilot you will know if you are hooked or not.
Cgi was obvious but injury to horse was still ghastly.
Mainstream is pathetically shallow. So anything different is often blindly credited with depth it does not possess.
Was this the tip of the iceberg ? Will there actually be hidden depths ?
Only time will tell. Or this review, if it is updated.
Definitely watching.
Wish them well.
Thank you.
Cancelled due to 3 horses dying during shooting.
