What you do need to be careful for, though, is not to expect fireworks and stunning plot twists every 10 minutes. It's structured to tell an entire story over the course of a season, and sometimes they linger on world building or just soaking up the environment as the fates align. It's not paced like a Michael Bay movie, more like hanging out on the stoop watching the world go by, albeit a ****ed up dangerous world.

I watched that first season and some of the characters did draw me in a bit. I feel like maybe it was the wrong characters though. I feel like the "main" characters weren't as interesting. But I don't know. I only watched that first season. It didn't pull me in enough to go looking for season two.
