For all the people whining about it being "too political" and "too slow", "poor villains", "justifying terrorism", etc. This is the first season. We need to have a reason to care about what's happening. It can't just be nonstop fight scenes with no investment in either side of the fight. Politics are important. Motives are important. Backstories are important. For the people who don't care about the reasons the "bad guys" do what they do, well, I'd venture to guess you're not human enough to get it. Not all people we see as villains believe they're bad. Their actions might be harmful, but sometimes they believe they're on the right side. I think it's an important part of being a human. For all the super-humans in this show, there's enough humanity to keep me interested. And some really powerful messages to be had, if you can stop whining and listen.
