I thoight that boiler plate might be BS. I just started season 4 (have it seen the previous seasons) recently on Hulu. My subscription level has commercials so it broken up, but still seems to work ok. Each episode has wildcard characters and the gangsters are the solid, dependable types as they have rules to follow. You know something really bad is ultimately going to happen (from the warning on each episode) but you wonder which of these crazy folk is going to tip the balance.
The cinematography has been great, the split screen effect is used judiciously and is working for me. the music is mostly good. I just got to the B/W episode which feels VERY Coen-y with these characters talking in allegories and fantastical things happening.
Chris Rock is ok/not great. Jason Schwarzman as the Italian family boss is comedic bordering on unbelievable. Timothy oliphant’s us Marshall character just seems like a typical coen brothers quirky oddball. Singer/songwriter Andrew Bird has an acting roll as the funeral director and he’s doing a decent job.
I’ve only got a couple of episodes left, but im anxious to find out how this all plays out.
