2017 gave us The Handmaid's Tale, The Deuce, Westworld, Get Shorty, so until this show, 2018 was pretty much a lackluster year...
This indeed is slow-paced, but not that much. It needed to be so, since it tackles two very unusal topics as well as being a good drama : the occult LA scene of the post war era, and aeronautics revolution. What's fascinating is that it connects the two in an unexpected fashion. Oh yeah, psychedelic drugs of course are involved in the process.
There also are a handfull striking fantasy scenes that reveal the inner world of the main character and his vivid imagination, how he allows fantasy to connect with reality.
The last scene of the last episode is a cliffhanger, but even if the show was not to return, we get a prety good idea of what would happen after then, since we know actual history. Still, the potential is great, and I think this could turn into little unknown classic.
All in all, each episode made the show climb higher on my to-watch list, and nothing this year had me that compeled to watch the next season.
