Whoo! Just finished season 1 and can't wait for season 2. Like others here, I could do with a LOT fewer scenes watching whores at work, but I perservered because I'd heard it gets better, and it does, the scriptwriting definitely picks up as it goes along. For a show with this much blood (yeah, I get it, violent society, very violent, right, please stop...) there's a surprising number of laugh-out-loud moments, and some characters I really cared for (past tense, spoiler alert... violent and dangerous world, don't forget). The plot hums along with mysterious motives, secrets, conspiracies, and tension. Who wouldn't love a show on a pirate ship, really? The hero is a dream, he reads AND he can cook! The costumes and set are as good as any movie. And the popcorn you set aside during the stomach-churning parts? Just wait -- eventually, the big-movie action gets going, and things blow up.
