I was entertained, but I was also annoyed by how little redemption there is in the first season. Every character, even the ones you like in the beginning, becomes despicable. There's literally nobody that I'm rooting for. Sort of a strange situation to be in as a viewer. As despicable as Walt Candy in breaking bad, I'm always rooting for him. Does that make sense? Did you have the same reaction? Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely watching season two, it's a good show.
