Thanks, Glenn.

Glad to be here.

Oh, maybe not dreams, but definitely not nightmares either.

I think there's a lot of fun stuff to enjoy.

Nicolas Cage, Nicolas Caging, all over this joint.

He is over the top.

It's why he's a star.

He's...

goofy, but somehow still affectionate and resonant.

But I think overall, I had a really difficult time with the tone of the show.

I love a good noir.

To me, noir is all about secrets and trying to understand the human condition.

And then usually there's a very intense crime involved.

I felt the crime was kind of all over the place and didn't quite build in a way that was satisfactory.

And I felt there was a lot of struggle to get the blend of like, when is it okay to be funny?

And when is it okay to be like deep and darkly dramatic?

And it kind of trying to do both washed it out.

I will say what I appreciated about the series is a lot of times, particularly when we're doing comic books within other genres, um,

We want to make everything very sanitized.

In other words, we do blind race casting and we're not going to address the struggles of the time period or that becomes the whole thing.
