4/10
Bad characters

Warning: Spoilers
I don't mind the nonlinear approach. The story itself was ok but I felt like they could have taken it in so many different places that would have made it so much more satisfying and interesting. But it was the characters that really soured it for me.

Bob and Judy were two of the most poorly written characters I've encountered in a show in a long time. Bob especially had zero redeeming qualities, but even Judy was such a confusing mess. Throw in RJ, who is supposed to be the nerdy tech guy (of course Asian btw) who also knows cars, and hvac, and plumbing, and is the driver (yeah duh he also raced cars growing up no biggie), which all sounds interesting yet some how he was the most uninteresting character in the crew, and you have half of crew being such hateable, dull characters I felt truly enraged after watching the payoff for all these characters in the white (heist) episode and realizing that yes, they were in fact that stupid and meaningless the whole time.

A huge waste of my time and I really wish the IMDb rating was more accurate so that I could've avoided this entire show. It should be no higher than a 6.
