    It is often a dirge. Its format seems intended to not just thwart but strangle enthusiasm. ... A great deal of the dialogue in “The Eddy” feels improvised, which might, under other circumstances, be a compliment. Not here. There’s the distinct sense of characters not listening to each other when they talk, of there being no narrative objective or even a governing intelligence behind the show.

    There’s naturalistic acting, and then there’s mumbling. And the first episode had a lot of mumbling, especially from André Holland. The Eddy is a pretentious mess of a show, and even the expert music that is interspersed through the first episode isn’t enough to save it. In fact, it makes things worse.
