@@cool64378 yeah totally agree! In my opinion, due to Refn’s aesthetic (being slow-paced and hypnotic, in a way), his movies/series only work when there are minimal number of main characters, as it gives enough time to emotionally invest in them insofar as to feel empathetic or even alienated by their decision-making, similar to Drive and Valhalla Rising. Thus, Refn’s method of storytelling limits the ability of including a multitude of characters. A prime example where it worked was in his underrated Pusher series where there was a lot going on, unlike TOTDY
I love Refn interview they’re so fucking funny 😆 like he cracks me by how offbeat and off kilter his Cinematography strikes a mood in the heart of our souls .
I never really noticed until recently watching TOtDY, but Miles Teller really is one handsome bastard. I really like his look here with the mustache and that haircut.
Ed Brubaker is a friend of Refn? Oh my God!!b the Guy that made “the Fade Out” and “criminals” “velvet” this is sooo cool , I love seeing people I like striking each other’s imaginations and stimulating their creations . Hope one day to do the same
Wonder if he intended the Irony of releasing a streaming show all at once with a style that forces most viewers to consume it split up like an episodic TV drama or if it was all the accident. Like a lot of his stuff I kinda get the feeling the parts are worth more than the sum of the whole.
Nic is right about streaming being the future, and a very great canvas for storytelling. But I do hope he makes films again, because I would absolutely love to see a film of his in theaters
There were some dialogues in this show that i thought were so brilliant that i had to rewind and watch them again. Also it looked stunningly good and some extremely good acting. Thought it was great. But it was extremely slow and ending was a bit flat. NWR is a very talented man
10 episodes, there aren't any indications there will be a second season. I think it was planned and written to be one season. But open ended enough to allow more if it somehow was a hit.
I love NWR’s work but i feel like he’s gotten a little too lost in his own creative world. The first few episodes were intriguing to say the least, but like 90% of the series is slow pans, delayed dialogue, and big pauses. I get the effect he’s trying to convey but a lot of scenes could’ve been minutes shorter. After a while the slowness of the series began to get excruciating but I was already 5 episodes in so I rode it out.
I disagree , slow cinema is the most rewarding because it builds ambience and mood which is ultimately a film makers dream, imagine telling tarkovsky his shots are way too long> (i know comparing nic to tarkovsky is blasphemy since ones deeply philosophical and the other is a cinematic fetishist) but honestly i loved the pace of the series because i trusted nic all the way with how much love he put in this
NWR is great at doing that but there’s such a thing as too much especially when the rewards already been delivered within the first few minutes of almost every artistic portrait of scenes he had in every episode. After a while it began to become an expectation and repetitive rhythm. It would’ve been fine the first few episodes but the rest of the time it felt pointless and senseless. All in all though I still loved the the series cause I’d been waiting for it for over a year and the noir styled theme and music struck a cord with me.
Its his style. Thats what we show up for. We want something else, we go somewhere else. I hope he never conforms. If Im not digging it Ill turn it off, but he needs to do him. Always. Thats cinema. Point of view.

The show was by far the most violent and darkest I ever seen.
I would go every week to cinema theatres to watch every episode of this show. It would be awesome and It's about time.
Are u scared of life or hate it?
I learned about Refn from Drive, watch Bronson after. Love both movies. Only God Forgives was decent. But Too Old To Die Young is a masterpiece.
Have you seen his Pusher trilogy?
how about The Neon Demon?? it's his best imo
This top 5 show ever for me pushed the limits for "TV". Episode 6 had a 22 min intro, who does that?!
Haven't seen pusher, hear good things. Neon Demon is another one I missed, I like the concept but I'm not sure it's for me. And yes, that 22 min intro in episode 6 was beyond epic...
@@investinfastudios Neon Demon isn't his best, but it is his most beautifully shot.

12:05 Miles Teller: when you friend says the weird stuff to other people, but you're already used to it
I love his reactions.
Miles Teller is so handsome! Loving his moustache look!
He looks like your dad's friend on vacation. I don't mean that as an insult. Respect the dad stash and the hawaiian shirt.
Tate Hildyard He looks like he’s playing Goose’s son in Top Gun 2 ^.^
It’s difficult to know how seriously one should take Refn in interviews.
Check out Miles Teller's reaction at approx 17:45 when Refn is talking about the future of cinema.
I love Refn's style (especially in Neon Demon,), but man, he really is a bizarre man.
He's himself, like we all should be. Being bizarre means nothing. Being normal, even worse.

YEA ITS A MOVIE NOT A SERIE STREAMING THATS ALL NO SEASON
