Twenty six episodes in, and the stakes could not be any lower. The formula for this series so far is your typical cat and mouse pursuit, securing drug shipments across borders/state lines, being forced to make questionable deals with shady lenders, meeting payments from said shady lenders, taking a few bullets and scratches from a the random odd kerfuffles, rinse and repeat, over and over again.
Every episode, we stray farther and farther away from the appeal and intrigue of the original premise of the show: an underdog story of someone of someone who has nothing to lose and everything to gain. We quickly forget and easily dismiss the motivations behind every character's actions, because they seem to always be set up to perfectly build up the tension and drama of the next episode.
The constant pursuit of chasing one high to the next, devoid of any substance, is very much like the subject matter that this series is solely focused upon.
