I agree that the film "Air" was slow; it was not paced in what has become a very typical way. That's not a bad thing (for me). What it was, was a film about business development, risk, and trusting your lieutenants to do good work. Personally, I loved it, especially learning about Jordan's "seat at the table", which was both highly disruptive and highly appropriate. It worked out great for him. I know lots of people of a certain age (much like myself) that gave it a 10; that's hard to argue with from a success standpoint, I think?
As for Abstract: yes, one of the best shows on Netflix (with a few exceptions). The episodes are almost all great, and the one you reference was great storytelling. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the pointer about the III. I confess to not being a Nike fan, but I do enjoy learning about corporate history.
I think it was more than the pacing. I enjoy a slow burn, but we didn't see much development of the main characters. Other than Viola Davis, who was terrific, the best we got was Jason Bateman's character talking about his daughter, but Damon and Affleck's characters were pretty flat.
