 @551afd26 So true 😁 It breaks some conventions of storytelling so successfully! The characters aren't likable, and instead of a character arc, we get a much more realistic "people like that don't change". It's so hard to pull off something like that — I'm sure most shows would fail. 
 @d73175df 
Yes. Most shows would. The actors help, of course. They do such an amazing job. But the style and calibre of the writing and - like you said - the depth of each character allows you so much insight. 
I avoided it for a long time thinking I wouldn't enjoy it. I was wrong. 
 @551afd26 I think the whole team is stellar, and that's what makes it such a great show. Everything from camerawork to acting is just top-notch 👌
