The show, initially anticipated with excitement by all the fans of the Irishman, took a dark turn as McGregor’s losses continued to mount. It was a stark contrast to the optimistic expectations following his return from the leg break. However, six episodes down the line, things are not looking good for ‘The Notorious’.
