Saw the Pilot, it was just 'okay'. Like a toned down version of Boardwalk Empire. It might be worth it if only to catch Simon Pegg's cameo in the first EP (he actually does decently in a dramatic role, with an American accent nonetheless). I couldn't muster up the interest to follow the show though which is a bad sign because I can usually make it through few episodes before coming to that conclusion. Your time would probably be better spent watching Boardwalk Empire. When you censor this type of a show for a basic cable audience it just doesn't have the same impact.

Too bad for Darabont though, first he gets booted off The Walking Dead and now his new show fails. Oh well, I'd rather see him go back to making films anyway.
