I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before watching as some of them would have been very off putting. I thought it was a bit off the wall but very watchable. I will say it was slow to start though and I notice a lot of the bad reviews say they gave up after one or 2 episodes. I'm glad I persevered. From episode 3 on I was hooked. Morally ambiguous characters but that was part of what made it really thought provoking. Alan Partridge it isn't so don't go in expecting that but that doesn't make it bad, just different.
