Dark, weird, twisted, humorous, absurd and surprisingly heart warming, this series has it all. Of course I went in assuming I'd get big laughs knowing how much I love Tim Robbins other comedic shows, but this hit different. The parts that made me laugh were always after a really touching moment when your guard was down. At its core it's about a guy who's going through some shit in his own life that leads him to hyper fixate on what at first seems like an innocuous event, but quickly turns into a bizarre and twisted mystery, fleshed out by some absolutely wonderful characters that really draw you into this crazy world. And of course, just when you think you've got an idea where this series is headed, the season ends with a helluva twist that leaves you with more questions than answers! Can't wait for season 2!
