The characters in this show are very layered and complex. Even Philip - as bad-a** as he is, manages to convey a troubled and vulnerable spirit. Jean wrestles with demons in her head all the while trying to keep herself - and her family together. Harold is tough as nails underneath his controlled demeanor. Junior has more on his plate than a young man his age ever should. These characters are emotional and vulnerable and it makes you care about them. The only reason I gave it 9 stars is it is sometimes hard to follow. This will not stop me. This series also contains a lot of different types of plots. Crime, love, dysfunctional families, small-town corruption, illness, losing ourselves, finding ourselves. I also find it to be unpredictable, which is refreshing.
