Definitely an homage to Tarantino by way of “Mad Men,” without the script to carry solid production design, fabulous soundtrack and the talent on screen. So long, too! This would have made for an interesting limited series, but instead of a rich mix of characters we get too many people with not enough depth, checking off 1960s trope boxes. Manson acolyte, check. Nixon on archive news footage, check. Vietnam flashback, check. Jon Hamm, check.
I wanted this to be a lot better, because it’s gorgeous to look at, but it’s a slog to get through. Also, Dakota Johnson is not good. In anything. Including this.
