Well I tried, and half of each episode felt pretty fresh. Probably less Hollywood cliches. The action part, that is.
However, someone decided that half of each episode should be the main character's miserable childhood. He's a poor immigrant's child whose father is blamed by the local white rich for a crime he didn't commit and dies in prison, leaving our main character an orphan. We're getting shown that in excruciating detail.
They basically spliced together a pretty good action-ish/heist movie and a depressing festival movie designed to take golden globes or something.
At least for the first 4-5 episodes, because afterwards i simply stopped watching. It was either that or skip all childhood scenes, i.e. half of each episode.
