The show never got the feel right, and I watched all six seasons. Some of it is simple — the color is terrible, overdone and depressing. The pacing is slow for a series that really isn’t. The characters are made less likely to bee more gritty and dramatic rather than letting the plot create the drama.
Instead of just making the books well, they tried really hard to make it prestige tv like it was Breaking Bad or Mad Men. And it’s not.
