At just six episodes, all of which run under an hour, Copenhagen Cowboy should be more accessible—and presumably far cheaper to produce—than Refn’s grand Amazon experiment. The show is also something of a homecoming for the director, who filmed in his native Denmark for the first time since wrapping up his Pusher trilogy in 2005. Still, for better or for worse, Copenhagen Cowboy finds Refn continuing to double down on the thematic interests and languid pacing that have pulled the auteur further from the mainstream since he broke out with Drive.
