The only poor reviews I am seeing seem to be from people who evidently didn't watch the show, at least not more than 1 episode. There are genuinely complaints of no character development in a show based entirely on the changing of people at their core. A fantastic, funny, thought provoking watch, great, natural performances and an immersive setting and design. Music used to great effect with a killer soundtrack in a show full of emotion and a real look at human condition. It may be too clever for some I suppose, not that it is contrived or difficult to watch, but get the feeling that people who want nothing beyond "Friends" etc when it comes to thinking about what they are watching may get bored I guess. If you have a soul on the other hand, you are pretty much assured to enjoy this.
