Early reviews are mostly positive …. Curious to see what the board thinks. The first three were directed by PCWook - and are breezy before it gets dark and more complicated. I hope people don’t give up on it midway.

Pumped for this. I'm a big Park Chan-wook fan and will watch anything he does.

Thought the pilot was good. I haven’t read the book and have no idea where the story is going, though.

Watched Ep. 1 last night. Enjoyed it and will continue watching.

I have to say I thought the first episode was very good and incredibly well paced. To be expected from PCW. The sets evoked 1970’s Saigon better than most, if not all American produced projects.
I am biased by my fondness of the book and participation in the production. But still highly recommend starting it or sticking with it. The L.A. set episodes are going to be really good.

Watched the second episode last night. Am really enjoying it so far.
Did this stuff really happen? I'm a bit of a Vietnam history buff although admittedly on the war side itself. Had no idea stuff like this happen back in the states if it did? Really weird dynamic but it makes the show interesting.
Crazy that RDJ can pull off the different roles and not really be distracting from the story. Read somewhere that he viewed this as his unwinding after the rigor on Oppenheimer.

The material is based solely on the fictional novel of the same name. I don't recall any anecdotal stories or research about this coming out from the Vietnamese refugee community at that time.
RDJ is a true master of his craft. I watched several of his scenes in person and he generally nailed them in less than three takes. A very generous and kind guy who knew all of the crew by name.
