As has been happening to Refn since Only God Forgives, he's sacrificing style for substance and Too Old to Die Young is his most ambitious effort to date in that regard, but ambitious doesn't mean that it's actually good.

The problems ofAs has been happening to Refn since Only God Forgives, he's sacrificing style for substance and Too Old to Die Young is his most ambitious effort to date in that regard, but ambitious doesn't mean that it's actually good.

The problems of this miniseries are not its themes, not even its violence, the problems lie in the way in which Refn decides to tell the story and the duration has a lot to do with it and this is because it's a long time in which nothing happens.

The first two episodes are lethargic and between the two of them are just over 3 hours. I was honestly tempted not to continue, but the series improves and becomes a bit more stimulating after episode 4.

The miniseries is also confusing and never tries to give explanations, what happens on screen until the ending relies on you to make sense of it and frankly if you're part of the audiences that needs answers, then I must say this will only disappoint you.

At least I give Refn credit and half an extra star for making a television product - although I know it' streaming - which is nothing like what exists on TV.
I think that only HBO would've dared to do something like that and part of me doubts it, and that's why Refn deserves recognition but if he honestly tries again something similar, I hope he's more concise and less pretentious.… Expand

It is often excruciatingly slowly paced, which at times can draw you in to the enchanting aesthetic he has created, but at other times is simply off-putting.

Overall, this series has a fairly interesting storyline and is consistently beautiful, but is definitely aimed at a specific audience. I imagine most general viewers would absolutely hate it.… Expand
