I kept hearing about it and reading news coverage about the show. So I finally decided to take the plunge and bought the first season. I watched the first episode and I was hooked! Finished the whole season in less than 24 hours. Waiting for my partner to catch up so we can watch season 2. There's not enough to be said about this show. Just watch it! I fell in love with it.
