This was a mixed bag for me. Overall deserves a good experience, but I didn't feel fully satisfied by the time it ended. The mystery took some time to get compelling, and the ending felt like it didn't bring some of the characters to a satisfying conclusion. Some, however, did, and the acting overall was excellent. Too much sex and nudity, but that seems to be the norm these days, especially on HBO. What really rubbed me the wrong way was the jazz soundtrack. I love jazz, and I know it was era-appropriate, but it just clashed with the mood of the show. There were some serious theatrical tracks that fit really well, and then in a somber and dark show a weirdly upbeat and slightly flamboyant jazz would kick in. It always felt a bit jolting, with the exception of the "resurrection getaway" scene.
Overall good show, but just weird weak points and I don't feel ready to recommend it to anyone.
