Amazon is teaming up with “Drive” and “Only God Forgives” director Nicolas Winding Refn on the new crime thriller series “Too Old To Die Young” for Amazon Studios.
Scoring a straight-to-series order with ten episodes, Refn will serve as co-writer with acclaimed comic author and “Westworld” producer Ed Brubaker, with both to executive produce.
The story explores the criminal underbelly of Los Angeles as we follow various characters’ existential journeys from killers to avenging angels. The tone is said to be akin to Refn’s “Pusher” trilogy.
Three notable male actors have reportedly been offered roles, though no deals have been made. Refn will direct the series which will shoot in Los Angeles this Fall.
This could be good. Love the Pusher trilogy.

“Whiplash” star Miles Teller is set to star in “Drive” director Nicolas Winding Refn’s new crime-thriller series “Too Old to Die Young” for Amazon Studios.
Teller plays a grieving police officer who, along with the man who shot his partner, finds himself in a Los Angeles underworld filled with working-class hit men, Yakuza soldiers, cartel assassins, Russian mafia dons and gangs of teen killers.
Refn wrote the project with prolific comic author Ed Brubaker, and Refn is on board to direct the entire series which has been described as a “killers’ existential journeys in becoming samurai”.

then why watch it? or try to watch it? have you not seen a refn movie? what did you expect? i'd say from all the other pretentious directors i find his work the most interesting.
been waiting for this one and only watched the first episode and while the cinematography is very good as always with dark atmosphere and interesting story but because of the lengthy runtime i found it a little bit too slow paced and bit boring...but still it was good
It's a slow burner, like most of Refn's stuff. If you're not a fan of that, you won't like this.
It does have amazing cinematography (Khondji) and a mesmerizing score (Martinez).
I'm on episode 3 and it's slowly growing on me.
Watched the first episode. I really like the pacing (and the drone music, very fitting). It's all really well done, great acting. Quite unsettling atmosphere and characters.
It's also anything but "slow" actually. Tons of things happens in the first episode. Some scenes are long, sure. It's not done like a fast and dumb hollywood flick.
Easily a 9/10 for me. Hope the rest doesn't disappoint.
8.5/10, has some really great moments, very violent, would say ep 5 is the best and you could even watch it as a standalone movie together with ep 4.
this is not something you should binge, the pacing is too slow even for a slow burning show, there are many parts with no dialogue especialy with the cartel. the last 2 episodes are kinda pointless but first 8 are very good.
