To each their own...
I watch way too many series, and I much prefer to focus on only a couple at a time.
Now, I usually don't watch more than one or two episodes (rarely) a day... but I do like to watch multiple days in a row.
Once a week for a show like this one just doesn't cut it for me. I like to get in the mood/spirit of the show, and stay there.
And as I get older and my memory is not like it used to be, I feel like I can catch more of what's going on by viewing episodes faster than once a week
It sucks to get oldBut yeah... A HIGH QUALITY SHOW
Sure, some of the subject matter might offend some people, but as you say, the production quality, the actors, the script...
It's a keeper and I was glad it was renewed for the second season. There is still a lot of the story to tell, and I would have been pissed if it had only lasted one season.
