I couldn't get into it. I've started it twice, but I'm not even sure I finished the first season. For a character-driven show, I just don't find any of the characters relatable or interesting. Should I be looking for deeper meaning, or should I just take the story at face value?

I found them interesting, but contemptible. One of those shows that impressed me but I stopped watching because it wasn't good for mental health.

It was a fine show. Not sure I’ll ever be interested in a rewatch though. Overall, I’d rather rewatch What We Do In The Shadows. If I had to name a premium drama show to rewatch, instead of Mad Men I’d probably rewatch Better Call Saul + Breaking Bad.

I don't like the ending. This show is literally unwatchable.

It's the same as "Lost" in my eyes

It wasn't based on the dude's real history???

I don't care that it's not based on real history. Sopranos also sucks because of how they wrapped it all up

Breaking bad is by far the best because of how it ended
