First 2-3 episodes are very good. Then like a lot of shows, there are too many subplots. Who killed the lady pimp? Julian's son he did not know he had, goes on the run with his teacher/girlfriend. She winds up dead. The kid's mom finds the body. Julian has street cred after 15 years in prison. In flashbacks, Julian is well respected in prison. Why? We do not get to know. Jon Berenthal is very good. Wayne Brady plays off-character very well. Gretchen Mol is bland. The sex scenes are not sexy. Julian goes back to being a gigolo to pay for a dog's surgery. Most of the characters are ridiculous. By episode 5 the show dumbs way down. Save 8 hours. Watch something else.
