    The characters are captivating—so much so that their personalities often overpower Schramke’s own perspective.

    Schramke's ability to wrangle all of these narratives into a coherent form proves to be sporadic and limited at best. ... But whatever draw it might muster comes down to something far more basic, explained in the words of Juan Galt (yup, no relation): the anarchy dream crashes against the reality of human conflict, and drama and s**t hitting the fan.

    It’s not bad, but sometimes a six-part series ends up being ideal for viewers who have the approximate six hours to see past a project’s padding to a leaner, more purposeful version of its own story.
