Detective film noir with a great actor... with a twist.

It's hard to review this one without spoilers. The major twist shows up around half way through the series. Farrell is a great actor. I think he's highly underrated. I consider Phone Booth the greatest showcase of acting talent I've ever seen. He nailed this part.
It begins with one of my favorite cinematic styles, narrated detective film noir. I was hooked 10 minutes in. Colin Farrell carried this series. His narration was perfection. The supporting cast wasn't impressive, but it worked. The story unfolded a little slowly, but there was a reason for that. Remember the twist I mentioned?
WOKENESS:
In one of the early episodes, there was a honey-trap that, instead of an attractive female getting intel from a middle-aged man, the female part was played by a homosexual. I almost dropped out at that point, but I waited to see if it was one-and-done. It was. My suspicion is that it needed to check that box to get produced. Cinematic entertainment is being held hostage by perverse agenda.
Season two shows up on IMDB and it's obvious that it was intended. The ending was just right. The story was tied up, but an issue that was alluded to throughout season one was put in the forefront at the end to launch season two. It's not the frustrating loose end that holds the story conclusion ransom. I'm looking forward to season two.
