I think season one sets the detective series bar so high it cannot be beaten. However if we think season 3 separate show entirely this is carenteed HBO quality no question about it.
Atmosphere was threathning and disturbing even when nothing thrilling is not going on: It's like thundedclouds, never no for sure when the lightning strikes.
Acting was decent but not as good as I expected: I believe Marsheala Ali will show how great he is when show continues.
Inlfuences on season one was clear but that is so far good thing.
Ending in this episode was very captivating and that is the reason I gave 9 stars instead of seven. I believe in this show.
