This show has nothing particularly wrong with it in any way. In fact, most of the elements of the show are great. The acting, cinematography, set designs, and overall aesthetic of the show are all phenomenally well done, which is no surprise seeing as this is an HBO production. The biggest issue for me was simply that the "intrigue" of the show wasn't exceedingly engaging. The plot was fairly simple and interesting enough to keep me watching, but I still felt like something was missing and I was really only watching every week for the stellar production value. For me, it's weird to continue watching a show that isn't far one way or the other on the love/hate continuum. I'm glad they've renewed this series for a second season because I just have this strong feeling that they've found their footing and we will receive an excellent second season.
