This show is so boring that it makes watching paint dry seem like edge-of-your-seat excitement.
Whenever I watch a TV show or movie and the plot is slow-paced, I expect things to develop with time. That could mean character development or the revelation of subtle details that help with the story. "Lodge 49", however, has neither.
In addition, there are too many side stories filled with unnecessary details. The plot keeps switching back and forth between them so that one can't really follow what's going on, let alone care about what's happening. Compare that with something like "Breaking Bad" or "Better Call Saul". Those shows have only a few main characters, the side stories are clear and succinct and, eventually, they come together. The writers for those two series made good use of the time on screen; those for "Lodge 49" didn't do that.
I switched it off part-way through the second episode. It's another misfire for AMC. Avoid this one.
