I had hopes for this show especially with Park Chan Wook involved. It was interesting to see RDJ play different roles but no one would be surprised with his versatility in acting skills. The show started off decent but felt the show just wasn't executed in the best way possible. The story felt dragged out each episode with only a seven episode count and although it was nice to see some Asian representation, I just didn't care much for any of the characters. They might've been better off with doing a 2 hour movie. The satire tone worked on some parts but really was overdone throughout the show. I expected something more to keep me engaged and feel some type of emotional attachment but it never delivered. Considering that Hoa Xuande was playing a Vietnamese communist spy, I wanted to see more scenes that made you want to empathize more for the character so by the time the ending came, you'd feel satisfied with the outcome of his character.

A really big drop in quality from Rogue One. Great cinematography but the story could've been developed more. Excellent concept, however, poor execution in screenplay with character development and lack luster acting by John David Washington. I believe he doesn't have strong acting skills to hold a lead role. There was also not much to care about between him and Gemma Chan as they showed no chemistry whatsoever. The strongest acting came from the girl that played Alfie and Ken Watanabe. I had really wanted to like this movie as it started off decent but quickly fell apart piece by piece as the story progressed.
