I really wanted to like this, because like so many people who have enjoyed KHJ's work in the past, I'd like to see him get his career back on track. But this won't help.
The story was confusing. I found myself losing track of what was going on over and over. There didn't seem to be a clear destination for the story. The acting was not outstanding. Let's face it, KHJ has never been the greatest actor but he puts his all into everything he does. He was served badly by this dull, emotionless character with none of the vigor KHJ usually brings to his performances. By the 7th episode, I found that I had almost given up on understanding where it was going, I skimmed through 9 and started 10 - and gave up at a scene with a lot of leaden people sitting around a bed having the dullest, most lifeless conversation imaginable. I didn't care about any of them.
I hope something better comes along for KHJ in the future. He deserves more than this limp story.
