Anybody watching Monsieur Spade on Acorn?

It's only episode one and I'm so confused. Sam Spade (Clive Owen) winds up in France in 1955, paid to deliver a young girl to her father. After that, the story gets really disjointed.

1. Yep. I like it so far, but he's playing a younger Sam Spade than Bogie did. Once I get past that I'll enjoy it more.

2. Didn't like it at all.

As soon as I saw the little kid, the smoking nun, I thought nope! Not for me.
Nothing even resembling Bogie, who he was, supposedly, modeling his performance.

3. Liked it a lot

really like Clive Owen. It's just a little different take from Bogie but I think it's going to be a good series.

4. I watched it, thought it was pretty good

The first episode unfolds with a couple of flashbacks, but it all makes sense, and I think the story is pretty compelling so far. And the photography and production looks really great. I am enjoying it, and looking forward to more.

What part of it do you have issue with?

5. The flash backs

Had a hard time following the story.

6. Yes. So far we like it. It took a little while to figure out the flashbacks.

7. I heard Scott Simon interview Clive this morning

on Weekend Edition. He talked about his approach to the character and how rather than ignoring/avoiding Bogart's performance he actually tried using it in his own.

Also, what's Acorn? Is it a streaming service or some obscure cable channel? Guessing the former.
