Kritiken (2)
The screaming repetition of several jokes with a predictable plot and an incomprehensible combination of dark humor and graphic depictions of medical mishaps that I never needed to see graphically depicted. Casting Jon Hamm as an older version of the main character initially seemed incomprehensible to me, but over time, Daniel Radcliffe incredibly imprinted himself onto his future. It's just a shame that it had to happen in this unappealing conglomeration of lost souls. One good joke is enough to get easily two episodes past my perplexed blind eyes.

Season one: A bucket of cold Russian realism. The black humor (almost British) stories entertain and disrespect for human life has never been presented in such an entertaining form. Radcliffe has shaken off Potter and together with Hamm deal with morphine addiction and the trials and tribulations of villages in the middle of nowhere, consisting of (it seems) one house. My girlfriend finds this very depressing, but I think it’s great. :-) Season two: I really liked the reverse of roles when Radcliffe becomes that bastard who began reminiscing in episode one. With the arrival of Natasha reveals how things really are. A symbolic closure in the closing shots is very nice. Unpretentious.
