Watching Nicolas Refn's Amazon series Too Old To Die Young. Have come across someone describing it as Twin Peaks x Mexican Soprano's and despite the weird comparison it's reasonably apt.

I'm amped for Too Old to Die Young, but seeing some pretty scathing reviews around.

Too Old to Die Young is ******* wild man.

Bill Baldwin's purring, a weird ass car chase scene, hyper sexualised hyper psychedelic. Like I don't know if this is actually good but it's impossible to not be interested in what comes next - even when you're waiting a whole goddamn minute for the camera to pan across the room just to reveal a character you already knew was there.

Sensory overload.

Twin Peaks x Mexican Sopranos is a good summary description.

So many interesting/weird characters. Some bizarre fantasy scenes mixed with brutal realism. A fantastic soundtrack.

Overall I loved this show. Some shows start well and tail off but this got better as it went on. I confess to 4x fast forward at times due to the extremely slow pans and scenes where nothing goes on, but most times I just went with it as the tension was palpable.
