Not liking Lewis too much - i think his second would've actually made a better main. He was amazing as Hardman in Suits.
Giamatti is killing it, though. Nearly the amount of carrying that can make a show alone, like Laurie as House.
It's kind of nice to get BDSM portrayed as somewhat "normal", though.
I still think it's going to come out and sink his political aspirations.
Maggie Siffs character is pretty much my dream wife.
I really really love that show.
Wow the last 5min of yesterday's episode. The way they mix in Master of Puppet with the last scene... Holy shit
I love it, but they have so many references to Metallica that it starting to feel like they paid for ads on the show.
Paul Giamatti chewing through scenes never gets old.

Nothing bad ever happens to these people, it is insufferable to watch since it is not intentional and just lazy writing.

Hollyshit that ending. And Chuck's expression.

It may be Giamatti's being generally awesome, but this show is really good.
