The Red Road (2014–2015)
7/10
Good Show That Requires a Patient Audience
9 January 2015
The show's plot is a slow burn and lacks gimmicks or quirks; straightforward storytelling with some surprises thrown in the mix, such is life. I gave this a 7 due to the mid season drag between episodes 3 and 5, which caused me to stop watching the show for 4 days. But when I watched the rest of the season, I was not disappointed. The last episode is stunning and has me eagerly awaiting the next season.

Jason Momoa is the standout on this show. He's incredibly dynamic: intense, menacing and vulnerable all at the same time. And as a sidenote, he is a physically stunning man: strikingly handsome with an amazing body. But, his performance is so good that he makes you forget how physically beautiful he is, he's really bearing his soul.

Tom Sizemore....who would've thought? Quirky, darkly-funny, and terrifying in the way that violent, unpredictable men are.

The best thing about this show is that the story lines and characters are believable and and never insults my intelligence. Hopefully they work on the pacing for season 2.
