Season 1, Episode 3
4/10
9 stars for Suleiman's family, negative stars for gratuitous sex

Warning: Spoilers
The point of our drone pilot is that he feels empty and guilty about what he does, so he wants to discard the "tips" he's received over the years from his coworker. When they doesn't work at the casino and he winds up with $30K, that could have been it. Adding the kinky grifters was just some lame excuse by the writers to have some sex and nudity that did absolutely nothing in service of the plot. Purely gratuitous, and it made me want to stop watching the show.

The sex scene in the previous episode, while not as graphic, clearly depicted the terror in Suleiman's wife and how helpless she felt. It was character driven.

I'm not sure if the writers were just high on Game of Thrones, but there was zero point to extending the drone story to a sex scene other than the writers like the female form. Disappointing.
