This show has a lot of potential growing for it. I'm not sure if that's because of Scorsese's masterful direction and addictive editing but I this show has some great names. Terence Winter , prominent writer from The Sopranos, Scorsese, as a producer, Tim Van Patten, as producer as well as director for this series and many episodes in The Sopranos; all that jumbled in with a stellar cast: Steve Buscemi, Michael Shannon, and Michael Stulhberg just to name a few. And overall it's gorgeous to look at with the cinematography of the show. My one concern is that Scorsese's direction makes this look too good and I'm eager to see how future directors handle this series.
