Two episodes in and the total of what has happened in this series amounts to less than a minute and a half of screen time. Refn is like the tale of The Emperor's New Clothes, with a handful of fans who don't understand what his appeal actually is, but they hope to look cool by gushing over his boring films.
I'm going to say the silent part out loud here: This guy, Refn, is a self impressed fraud who can't tell a story to save his life. Telling a story requires more than making up some names for characters who do nothing but deliver dead lines. Shooting long pan shots of nothing doesn't do anything to tell a story.
The next producer to hear one of Refn's pitches should tell him to shut up and get out. Someone needs to stop this guy before he wastes another dollar with his empty, no story projects.
