The only reason to show up for this is if you’re excited for Guy Pearce and Damian Lewis to talk to each other for awhile.
If you’re into that, it’s great! You’ll find some other fabulous performances, too.
But it doesn’t work as a drama. The miniseries hinges on two central mysteries. Halfway through the first episode you’ll have a very good guess on the first. The second is only introduced near the end and the stakes for it could not be lower.
It’s a snooze, but sometimes a good nap is exactly what you need.
