I enjoyed the characters, the mystery, the suspense and drama. I look forward to season 2 - because season 1 does not finish the story.
I had some suspicions about what was really going on, and as the season progressed I even guessed some of the motives. But it wasn't completely obvious, and even after I'd guessed some of it I still enjoyed watching the show to see how it would turn out.
I was hoping that Season 1 would be a complete story, but they ended it with a cliff-hanger. So I really hope there is a Season 2 and that the story is completed. I hate to invest so much time and emotion into a story only to have it never completed.
There was a brief time when I was doubtful about the antagonist's end goal - I didn't see that it would accomplish very much. But there were one or two lines that I remember that explain the end goal to my satisfaction. Blackmail is mentioned, but blackmail would only work once and then the whole system would be shut down because it would have obviously failed, and then everybody loses. Blackmail in this scenario is just the threat of 'mutually assured destruction' meant to protect the main goal. Don't try to take me down or I'll burn down everything and destroy us both. The main motivation is money, and there are many more ways of making money than through blackmail.
