It's rare a television show takes you to another era, but this is what the Last Tycoon pilot did. Beautifully shot and the cast was wonderful. A lot of television today has trouble weaving together multiple story lines, but the pilot made each individual story line a full meal, yet it all weaved together effortlessly. And, it's very clear that the main thread of the show in terms of the power struggle and relationship between Monroe Stahr, Pat Brady and Celia Brady is one that has infinite potential. The cliffhanger was smart in that it gives the writers many places to go with the Monroe character. Perhaps he has a darker side? Looking forward to seeing what happens next. Lots of series potential here.
