A little slow and soapy, but still an emotional rollercoaster (especially if you watch it at a faster speed).
It has the problem of many productions nowadays: a lot of themes/angles stay superficial and feel like they were designed just to create the illusion of coolness/complexity or artificially strengthen characters' motives. Yet they don't serve any real purpose, they aren't explored, they transform the characters into puppets, they feel disjointed to the rest of the story.
Still Beartown succeeded where most of the tv-series I watched recently failed: getting me to the end and not feeling like a chore.
