Currently on season 2 and I had no idea there would be themes of alienation, nihilism, searching for meaning and belonging, and crumbling of the American dream, etc. I thought it was just a crime drama with some comedy involved. I'm pleasantly surprised and its making rediscover my gabagool side.

    I'm on episode two of season one. It's so weird, it's like the opposite of Breaking Bad (which I also love). Instead of ordinary man becoming a crime boss, it's about a crime boss dealing with ordinary problems. I haven't been super hooked into it yet since there's not really any sort of overarching engrossing plot yet, but it has been interesting just for how different it is.

      I recommend to continue. Every character is complicated and while you're seeing their ordinary problems which usually brought on by insecurity or family problems you get reminded periodically of their vicious nature. Its a nasty cycle of violence caused by an aimless existence. Reminds me of Fight Club in a lot of ways.
