With the end of Breaking Bad came the sadness and searching for a show I could really get into. After searching through Netflix for weeks, I finally ran across this, and I haven't turned it off since. It's a wonderful show with a large story arch spanning all episodes (so far). I can care about the characters (so far). You have the genius of Glenn Close and Rose Byrne. I can't complain about anything.

I particularly like that it is based on one huge case and the timeline keeps telescoping in from both ends with the past burning in faster than the future. Nicely directed. Although it will totally throw someone off when they are watching from in between. But I love the show.
