I agree that it's the best show on TV at the moment. Perhaps when it ends it's run in a month or so, some other show will be the best on TV. But for this summer, yeah, this is it, and it's great.

USA picked it up for the second season before the first episode aired, which is a fairly bold move, showing the faith the network has in the show.

It was also originally conceived as a movie, and the first season of the show would have been act one of the movie, so it's laying a fine, detailed groundwork for whatever is to come.
