The show is good and does a great job of losing the stereotypical Hollywood caricatures. Not a single "Eye thar mee matees!". Even the command structure and seamanship is more authentic than what we usually see. One subplot has begun wearing thin this season. My heterosexual male pervert membership will suspended, maybe forever. Certainly I will be a pariah for speaking aloud these next heretical and treasonous words. The affair between the hot redhead and the hotter still bar manager is taking on a distinct porn story cliche " Oh! I thought a guy name Sam was coming!" then the bowchikabowwow music starts, "I'm Samantha, and I'll be coming over too". Its really been obvious the past few episodes which makes it jarring, even feeling amateur compared with the rest of the episode.

The show is really good. However, there are issues with the files. I've downloaded them on multiple devices, and tried streaming and changing the quality. All of these methods still result in freezing at the same minute marks. Frequent breaks make the story less compelling. Buy somewhere else.
