I am enjoying the show but so far reviews are mixed. Tonight we are 1/2 through the season and I am hoping that AMC gives it another chance and renews it for a second season. However, numbers are not great and they are deteriorating week after week. What do you think, do you find the show too dark? Too graphic? Let us know!
