'Chapter 1,' which premiered Sunday at Cannes, has all the hallmarks of TV. Times staffers debate whether that’s a good or bad thing.

To anyone worried that 'Megalopolis' would be the only risky, expensive late-career epic from a Hollywood legend to premiere at this year's Cannes Film Festival, breathe easy. With 'Horizon: An American Saga — Chapter 1' , Kevin Costner has you covered.

If 'Horizon' is TV, what kind of TV is it? I can't help but be reminded of James Poniewozik's recent essay for the New York Times about what he called Mid TV, or 'prestige TV that you can fold laundry to.' It's, you know, just fine. 'Horizon' is absurdly over-plotted and peopled with redundant characters, lending it an epic 'scope' that aspires to an E.L. Doctorow novel but isn't justified, at least for now.
