I'm so disappointed in this episode. This was one of the series I had been looking forward to the most for this falls line-up. I liked the premise of the show and after watching the first episode I still like where the story is heading, but everything else was pretty bad.
My major difficulties with this episode was that the cast was awful. If the acting wasn't bad it was the wrong actor for the wrong part. Mainly the mob boss and the manager of the playboy club were characters that didn't fit with the actors. My other concern was the dialog. Wow, the dialog is really terrible, everything sounded unreal and corny. I can't say I've experienced that feeling watching a prime time TV-series before, the dialog is often better in some shows and less good in others, but this was just bad. I was wondering if I was watching a high school drama or something.
The pros, like I said before, I liked the story, and the two lead characters aren't that bad actually, even if the lead character, Nick Dalton, is a replica of Don Draper that it's scary, but that is it for the pros really.
I really want to continue watching this show because the plot is pretty intriguing, but I don't think I should. The show just feels like something mainly made for NBC because it wanted it's own Mad Men replica. I hate quitting on a show too early so I'm going to catch next week's episode, but I don't think I'm going to like it.
