I like Clive Owen's work, but this is not shot or directed properly.
The camera work frames & obectifies the actors too often instead of portraying the viewer and what they would be seeing. The camera stares centrally at characters, performs out-of-body levitation shots for no benefit to the viewer and not in setting up a new scene.
Direction is one tone, always. No social-emergency switch. Clive Owen is a master of staying cool under pressure, but here no pressure is set up at all. All characters are borderline social, borderline living in emergency.
I only viewed the first episode.
Scenery is beautiful, cars are beautiful... but the film is not artistic and real.
