The Consultant - Amazon Prime

[Nice Guy Eddie 13540]

8 episode mini-series on Prime, with Christoph Waltz as the lead.

Weird, dark comedy that I constantly wondered what was going on. Very bingeable. Don't expect to have the plot tied up in a bow by the end. This didn't bother me.

I just watched the first episode and I have no idea what I just saw. But I'm in.

Ooo. It’s out ? Noice 

[Augustus 3061]

You had me at Christoph Waltz.

Watched Ep 1 last night.

I told the wife, "I don't even know what it's about, but Christoph Waltz is in it...so I'm in"

[Augustus 3061]

Watched half of first episode last night.

Got off to an interesting start, but I grew really skeptical not long after.

I'll finish the first episode tonight and probably watch at least one more.

finished last night. pretty forgettable overall. should’ve just been a movie.

Couldn't hang on with this. Christoph Waltz was only point of interest, he seemed out of place and the show had the look of a daytime soap opera.

TCM and F1 have me tied up this weekend but I'm definitely in.

Saw the first episode and just don’t think I understand why the characters were so invested in their jobs after the [initial incident]. 
 

Spoiler

If my boss was murdered at work- I’m not coming back. Especially not scrubbing his blood off the office window. Also, all that money and no corporate attorneys around? Most unbelievable part of the show next to the guy crying while sponging himself down in a spare office 

I think I’m out

I thought Dead for a Dollar was a pretty decent vehicle for Waltz.  It didn't get very high ratings, but I got through it ok.  I liked most of the actors surrounding him as well.  It's on Amazon.

Finished this last night. 

Spoiler

Something I'm sort of confused about. They told us halfway through the season that dude has a golden skeleton. But at the end of the finale, that was treated as some kind of twist that shouldn't have been expected. 

Thought this started pretty great and ended pretty meh.

We finished last night. Still have a few questions and fewer answers, but we found it enjoyably weird.
