I'm glad you're enjoying the show! I liked the same things about it that you do, but the show as a whole just sort of failed to ping for me, which was clearly related to genre. I still haven't had a chance to resume watching The Wire (most recent show by the same team), which I preferred for reasons I haven't entirely figured out (similar genre, but the way they handle the narratives is different in a way that worked better for me); maybe once my VividCon vids are done...
