I mean, I definitely watched the first season. I don't know I think to some degree the show is a victim of high expectations - I heard so many positive remarks about the show that I was pretty surprised by the quality of the script and the acting. I mean it borders on lifetime/hallmark levels of cornball at times - but it sounds like you are saying that this might be intentional at least with regard to Don's gooberisms. I guess that just went over my head.

I used to think it was overrated, then I gave it watch over recently and it's, imo, the best of any of the prestige shows ever. Certainly no other prestige show hits strongly over all the seasons, and I think it has one of the best endings ever.
