ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** Kind of slow at times, but overall a good show. Love the stand alone episode format. The show stated REALLY slow and almost lost me entirely, but eventually picked up and found it's groove as the episodes became very strong. Overall, based on this season alone, I don't really understand why this show became such a cultural phenomenon. Maybe it gets better. It's not as great as everyone made it out to be and I was kind of disappointed, but I enjoyed it. It made for nice background noise during work.
