And then they married and had a child, that child would be this show. It is THAT quirky and absurd and slow. It takes almost every one of Wes Anderson's style quirks and does them one better by occasionally actually being funny. There is even the express-emotion-by-expressly-not-expressing-emotion look on almost everyone's face.
It also has the slow, dark, pensive delivery of the Coen Bros. Unfortunately, it does NOT improve on the Coens. It is far too slow. I watched 4 episodes so far. I dare to say "Almost Nothing Happened". I know that is part of the point, but 4 episodes is almost 4 hours. Look at how much the Coens got done in 2 hours in No Country and in 1 hr 40 minutes in Fargo. Patriot should have tried to emulate THAT.
