Robert John Downey, Jr. is an American actor. Downey made his screen debut in 1970, at the age of five, when he appeared in his father's film Pound, and has worked consistently in film and television ever since. During the 1980s he had roles in a series of coming of age films associated with the Brat Pack. Less Than Zero (1987) is particularly notable, not only because it was the first time Downey's acting would be acknowledged by critics, but also because the role pushed Downey's...(Wikipedia)

Masturbatory Downey JR vehicle, extravagant in an exhausting way, interrupted by quirky title cards and the entirity of the Adobe Premier fx library. Just tell a goddamn story and stop cumming on your tools, fuck!!

I can't talk about the adaptation value, but otherwise this is impressive. Downey is just a fun sprinkle on the ground, but the core has nothing to do with it. It's nuanced, weird and competently directed.

It was fine. Supposed to be a super-popular book. Biggest problem was, it took us a few episodes to realize that Robert Downey Jr. was playing 4 different characters. We thought it was the same guy in goofy "spy disguises". That was distracting, confusing, and stupid. I assume he wanted to play a role, but none of the "white guy" roles were big enough, so of course he should play all of them. Bad decision.

The dialogue is clunky at times but a gorgeous show. Like a lot of series' though it kinda meanders.
