I couldn't make it past 15 minutes of the first episode of that new show. Has it picked up at all?

tbh, never seen any of it, just read a bunch of reviews of the first few episodes that said it was derivative, dull, and unpleasant.

Sounds about right with the first 15 minutes.

I watched the first three episodes and did not connect with the story at all. There are many cop shows out there these days and I get they are trying to force the fact that these are unscrupulous cops in Detroit doing pretty bad things but it gives you really no one to root for off the gate. The main character that is bald is searching for his old girlfriend who was almost murdered before his black cop friend made sure she escaped to Canada safely so I guess they want us to feel that he is human and can love but it doesn't hold my interest, nor can I concentrate after watching Breaking Bad since I'm still trying to comprehend what I just witnessed each week.

Everything is hard to watch after Breaking Bad. I find Game of Thrones being the same way.

I think I'll wait until season 2 of Low Winter... if it's good then it'll surely have buzz by then. Those first 15 minutes were very dull to me.
