Exactly. There was some really strong characters, and a meandering plot that sometimes lost itself in its own ambition. Toward the end of season 1 you could tell it was gaining steam, but it wasn't until Gus was introduced the show found its stride. Which is fine, because now we as fans can feel all nostalgic about the early flounderings knowing how great it ended up. But the show didn't not hit the ground running. It, like Justified, needed time and more room to grow because the premise was too big for its own good.
Then you have shows that just dominated the first season and remained steady. And then
You have shows that were great to begin with, but had no longterm or big picture success.

I still think Schillinger was one of the most disturbing, frightening characters that I've ever seen on television. Being that Oz was the first thing I ever saw him in and he was on for the whole series, it's tough to change that perception of him.Oz is still one of the most underrated shows of all-time IMO..rarely mentioned when discussing the best shows of the past 20 years..
It's still funny seeing JK Simmons in movies like Whiplash, that will always be Schillinger to me..
Hilarious too seeing him in the insurance commercials. I'm like, this dude used to be a prison Nazi that would rape and now he's slangin' insurance!
House of Cards 1st season
Bloodline
I saw the first season, need to catch up. 2nd season is good? I kind of struggled at first because although I like so many strong female characters, a lot of them look alike and it was confusing to figure out who was who
This is the one I'm interested in. Hoping to start it this week so I have something to pass the time between Spurs games.
