I liked L.W.S. very much. I studied playwriting for legitimate theatre in graduate school. I always prefer an Aristotelian beginning, middle and end. The trend with film and TV, however, is to get into a scene late, get out early and move right along to the next thing. My beloved Iz Diamond-Billy Wilder days are gone. The only tweek I would make with L.W.S. is that Frank’s motivation for killing McCann should come directly from McCann, not third party Joe Geddes. This would involve giving just a bit more information or footage with Frank and McCann going head to head for some reason, probably over Katya. There is this Frank, Katya, McCann triangle which forms the framework for the entire series. Writers, we see so little of this important triangle up front. There needs to be a bit more information about the Frank-McCann conflict in the beginning. The only other way to give this information is in flashback during the second season. If Frank Is on psychiatric leave, this is possible. Frank has fallen into the abyss. Let’s see him try to get back out and how he got there.
I enjoyed this very different, very innovative series very much indeed. Congrats to all cast and crew for a job well done.
