I'd rather see him next to Mark Strong and the nasty lawyer from Suits (narrows things down) than Andy Samberg, unless Andy's been sitting on something surprising.
Whoa. Good myth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's perfectly reasonable. I just have a totally unreasonable but strong visceral dislike of Low Winter Sun based on the previews, so I am grateful not to have a competing reason to watch it. Lennie James is tempting, but not compelling, and Mark Strong - looking at IMDB I have not seen a lot of his work.
It's nice when all the little oarsmen in my brain pull together instead of brawling.

OMG, Lennie James too! When everyone is all Paterson Joseph is the black Doctor, I'm no offence, but Lennie James! (In my head, quietly, and somewhat after the actual announcement, but before I realised Ayoade is also perfect). Lennie's a chameleon.
Mark Strong is a solid badass, and I like too see both of them in complicated places. Thrills me. So hopefully the show isn't entirely depressing, and I won't watch it the same day as BB.

I was pleasantly surprised to see Montgomery from Castle, basically playing Montgomery.

Man, Lennie James is the awesomest. He was by far the best thing about Jericho.

That is very true.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I have mad crazy lust for Mark Strong. I can't explain it, it just is,

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
All the negative reviews I've heard and read about Low Winter Sun point out that it's brought to us from someone responsible for Cold Case and Criminal Minds, but I like those! So maybe it's more about expectations than the actual product? (I still don't plan to watch it...)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
IMO, the show is fucking boring. The show IMO, is trying to be like "The Shield" set in Detroit, but they made a bit of an error where a significant event in "The Shield" happened at the end of the pilot episode, this event happened in the first 5 minutes of the episode.
It is difficult to find your bearings when the protagonist does something really terrible early on and the viewer has no context for why this had to be done. What was the motivation that such a drastic step needed to be taken?
The acting is pretty good, but the pacing is atrocious.

I can't stop thinking about how amazing Dean Norris was in that last Breaking Bad scene.
