The characters are strong, deep and the acting is superb. The story is good, as is the adaptation to the format. The main characters are not necessarily to be liked, but rather understood.
I'm only through the fourth episode and would binge the rest if they were available, but now I'll wait for the rest each week. The parallel storylines melt together and double the intrigue. I truly do not understand why anyone could hate on this series. I'm really enjoying it.
Too early to say for sure, but I suspect a couple of additional episodes might have helped. Some of the backstories could have used more development and depth. Overall, I'm glad that we gave it a watch and recommend it.
