I HATED the first 2 episodes. Seriously, I wanted to kill Eddie myself. By the 3rd episode, I was hating it less, by the 4th episode, I liked it and by the end I LOVED it. I even grew to love Eddie. I read someone else's review who called her the new Jar Jar Binks and I agreed for the first half of the season. But she ended up growing on me. So, I'll not hash out the plot here, but this show kept me guessing to the very end. I can usually eye the murderer from the beginning, but I could not when watching this show. So, my advice is stick with it to episode 5 and you'll be hooked. We ended up watching it over 2 nights we were that into it. It ends up being a great murder mystery.

What I love about this show is that for the most part, the characters are all really well fleshed out. No one is all good and all bad (except one character) and it shows all the nuances of why they are the way they are. And I love them all. It's a fantastic cast and they are all very interesting to watch. The writing, directing, acting, editing - well, everything - is very well done and I was REALLY sorry when we finished episode 8. I will miss these people. Can't wait for it to come back.

I just finished watching it for the second time, and I enjoyed it even more than before. When I had started watching it for the first time, I stopped after the second episode because I thought it was weird and quirky and depressing. A few days later, I looked it up here on IMDB and was surprised by the positive reviews, so I decided to give it one more try and I'm really glad I did. Yes, it's weird and quirky and somewhat depressing, but you go on a journey with these characters and learn to love and understand them and appreciate what they've gone through and how they evolve. I don't want to give too much away because this windy road these characters take is fascinating. So, my advice is to just go with it. I also recommend watching it a second time. I caught SO MUCH MORE the second pass because this series is incredibly detailed and layered. It just goes to show that the people who made this show cared about what they put on the screen and it shows. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
