This show goes there. First off, the first season is far better than any of the others. Unfortunately, like many great shows, season two is pivotal in the success of the remaining seasons reaching the critical buzz as the first. BUT, still, watch it with that in mind. I think you'll understand the characters and their arcs more if you have that kind of lens. The show is deep, dark, psychologically intense, but a needed reality for our younger generations to absorb. It's like a fine stage play.
