I do think seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best TV I've ever seen, but I was still hooked from the first episode. I keep trying to make people watch it, but I've learned it's not for everyone.

I think it gets better after season 1, but that might be because around the beginning of season 2 I actually began to care about what happened to the characters.

Yeah, I really don't care about any of them right now. I fucking hate that Pete guy and was quite disappointed to see that he's a regular cast member

My boyfriend hated it in the beginning, but he likes it now. However, he didn't see the last of the first or and all of the second season.

I hate football and people persuaded me to start watching it anyway, and I've been hooked for the last week and a half. I'm talking up til 5am watching. And almost ALL the characters are likeable, lol. And hot.

Yeah, I love him. I think he's captivating. Not necessarily nice, but I don't think he's mean either. All of them are very flawed people, but that doesn’t make them unlikeable to me.
