Skuzzy, the show was very good.  It was nice to see a story set in the American Southwest on location I believe.  Hollywood writing that did have some typecasting in regards to criminal lifestyle but entertaining.  Good humor and surprise cameos.

I do not know what is suppose to be good about it, and maybe that is the problem.  Someone said it was 6 episodes in when thing changed.  Maybe I need to skip to those episodes and try it.

All I know is the first 3 were not anything I cared for.  I just could not figure out what there was to like about those episodes.  Maybe my expectations were too high, with all the hype surrounding it.

It is hard for me to waste time on television I do not find entertaining.

It’s a character study.   They’re setting everything up for what comes later.   It’s part of the ride.

The compelling nature of it is a regular guy trying to do something desperate for the sake of his family.    It is quite literally one step forward five steps back—until it isn’t.   And then things take a turn.   And another.   And another.   And you’re shaking your head wondering how you got there.

The show was horribly rated in the beginning of its airing.  Its about half way through the series it began to really pick up the hype it ended with.

Skuzzy.

Watch the Season 1 recap and skip to season 2. 

If you do not like season 2, skip to the recap and try season 3 etc...

If you are not interested by the time the final season starts just stick it out and it will be worthwhile.

If you were not interested in the story by the end of the series you should contact Alex Jones immediately and inform him that you are a victim of government brain voodoo and offer to loan him your social media accounts in exchange for effective treatment of your disorder.

Hehe.

Yeah, I don't have any social media accounts, but I might take your advice on skipping a bunch of the early episodes.

Yeah.. you do miss suspense if you go skipping seasons.. little nuggets everywhere that click later.  That was half the fun
