Mar 9, 2019I thought it was rather boring, I feel the entire series could have been rapped up in one episode.
Awards & Rankings

Valley of the Boom abounds with self-aware asides and fanciful fillips, and these are variously pandering, bizarre, and endearing. ... Where McKay’s scenes [in "The Big Short"] clarify, these tend to confuse and clutter. ... The show has no particular ambition to draw its characters as people. Rather, they are figures of Wild West lore and common cliché.
-
Each chapter’s pace flows well, but there can be a herky-jerky energetic inconsistency between episodes as Carnahan throws in one diversionary gimmick after another. ... Such contrivances come at the expense of gravitas, but given the frequent opacity of the stories behind what actually happened, a viewer can’t fault Carnahan too severely for doing all he could possibly do to keep the story light and limber.

If it sounds weird, it is, but it’s exactly the right amount of bizarre to make this otherwise dense and tangled piece of modern history palatable--and hilarious.
