I really don't understand how I missed this show when it originally came out but I'm glad to have discovered it. The writing, storylines and more so, the acting performances are brilliant.
Season one starts off a little slow but the quality of everything just increases as you go, so stick with it. I haven't watched a show with such a strong main cast performance from all actors in such a long time. It's hard not to fall for every one of these tragic characters. The character development, transformation and even minor facial expressions are top quality - so much is said and expressed without words. Standout performance from Jonathan Tucker!!! He was phenomenal. Paul Pauser, Matt Laurier and Nick Jonas's performances were a pleasant surprise, along with Frank Grillo, they were fantastic - would love to see more of all of them on screen.
The storylines and subplots are unique to the bog standard on tv, they're developed well and also engaging. I'm not into fighting, it usually makes me wince to see people take hits but I loved every part of this show. There's depth, action, violence, sex, addiction, pain, emotion, heartwarming moments and humour - Everything you could want from a show. I just wish they would revive it, it did not deserve to be cancelled. I would definitely recommend this to any adult audience, there's enough for everyone to enjoy/like/relate to.
