@coin @cupcake They're doing a pretty stellar job on complex characters, which is always great -- and can't really be relied on when the presumptive 'draw' of a show is going to be the wire combat. They're also still doing a really good job of keeping everyone in the land of shades of grey rather than black and white; that some of the characters are actively struggling with this and some aren't at various points is another contrast that I don't see enough of, and is something I missed dearly when Black Sails sailed off into the sunset. (Bajie wins hands-down for me on this front as the character I'd most want to hug and punch often at the same time.)
We're seeing more and more of this, and often from the cable networks and streaming services. It's less melodramatic hand-wringing soap opera and more realistic in terms of the struggles people actually have.
...also, the general visual design for what I mentally dub 'the murder twins' is so damned beyond OOH SHINY to me that my inner costumer squeaks and trills any time they're on screen.
