Fans of the film will devour the TV series, and nonfans might give it a shot. Just be forewarned that it’s not “Blue Bloods.” It’s more like cold blood.

While the flashbacks deepen the characters, some elements are smack-you-in-the-head obvious. Still, the stylization of the story is impressive as is the way Rodriguez, who wrote and directed the premiere, introduces the robber characters, the more level-headed Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his possibly crazy/possibly prescient brother, Richie (Zane Holtz).

The original film’s strengths are washed out in this version, which is instead mining it for televisual drama.

As a 40-minute expansion on the first 10 minutes of the original film, the action can seem needlessly drawn out and played for time rather than for narrative sense. But the occasionally snappy dialogue, twisted humor and cinematic direction--which are all in Rodriguez's hallmark style--bode well for the rest of the series.

Some casting choices are inspired, others awkward. Some style choices by Rodriguez simmer, others fizzle.

After the plodding premiere, though, all I could think was wake me around the time they get to the snake dance. And maybe not even for that.

The problem is that aside from a narrow fan base, there’s scant reason to care about them, and from the performances to the relatively modest scale, the cocktail feels too diluted.

On S1: Wants to be cool, but is just chatty. Wants to be really wicked, but mixes over-the-top gory with uptight prudishness. Wants to tell the story largely left out by the film, but only shows that the movie was 'enough said'. And it makes it painfully clear how charismatic and unreplacable Hayek and Cloney are (while Madison Davenport is surprsingly good).
