The episode titles make acronyms that spell out The Saint Is The True Sinner!

The Guardian, which gives everything low marks (it gave Poker Face 3 out of 5 stars!), loved it, and Inverse hated it.

Well this was meh. Felt totally unengaged throughout. Could not have cared less if they shot his daughter. Fight scenes were weak. All the jumps around in the timeframe were annoying and did nothing for tension. Even Tucci added nothing. How bad does something have to be for that to be true?

I was reading it cost $300M to make these 6 episodes! 65M just for the reshoots!
