What happened to this show?
24 September 2021
Season 1 was great! Season 2 was mediocre (the amputee storyline was bizarre and unappealing, the trip to Mexico was just ridiculous and boring). Season 3 was nearly unwatchable with the hallucinatory angle). Season 4 has just crash landed with a thud as the hallucinations continue. Ep. 1 is an hour of Billy wandering the streets and/or hallucinating. Pure boredom. It's not Chinatown-esque (other than the fact that there were a few Chinese characters and the location or Billy's roaming), and it's attempt at noir falls flat. It's hard to work the noir angle when half the episode is a hallucination. Plus, trying to implement gadgetry by applying a 'theme' is unnecessary. Season 1 just relied on storyline and great acting. Great acting! No the relies on gimmicks. Damn shame!

Without BBT starring in this show, I would have left this show long ago.

I will give Ep. 2 a chance but this show is losing a loyal fan.
