Yeah it comes off wrong - sorry @profk - but I mean the show is about diplomacy and chat and shit like that,with the occasional break out of tension, which is what the early seasons do.
I mean saying they’re rubbish is like being into the Twin Peaks episodes with James riding off subplot in S2 of Twin Peaks: it’s cool if you like it but if that’s your idea of the show at its best then Twin Peaks isn’t a show you’ll enjoy much of.
Basically I really don’t understand people who keep bothering with something they don’t much care of just because it’s popular. I just sack that shit off, e.g. Breaking Bad: seen S1, forgot about it after that.
