The cast is superb, but both outstanding leads are wasted. Any time a great cast and director have an uneven script to work with, even from a usually fine writer, there will be disappointments. This one is uneven, often slow and tortured from the beginning, and gets caught in its own loop. There are very good parts that rescue to some extent, but not enough to overcome the flaws in clarity and timing. The series is good, not great.
