Maybe it's because I enjoy that era, the 70s, with all the analog stuff, the color palette and the trendy mustaches but... even when Woody Harrelson is clearly over the top in his portrayal of an ex CIA agent who has to team up with an FBI agent, I' more than ready to forgive him.
Great chemistry between the 2 main actors, great production design and smooth tight editing. Love it.
What can I say, it might be it reminds me of a Benny Hill skit hence I can't help but laugh every now and then, but story wise is on point. Our protagonist (real person, involved in the overestimated Watergate Scandal) wants to go back and play in the big league, after failing miserably and being benched.
He loves his family, hate communists, has some problems to keep is tongue in check and his moral boundaries are kind of blurred.
Love the obstacle/conflicts: his FBI partner (whose moral compass is more straight), his family (daughter is rebelliously dropping out of college to fight the system her father incarnates), the democratic party, the press... who else?
There's a lot at stake for our protagonist: his ego mainly. Let's see in the next episodes. Refreshing first episode.
