I'm about 5 episodes into s1 and enjoying it so far. I thought about starting this thread because I haven't heard much about it. Not sure if it falls off during s2 or not.

Its approaching favorite show territory for me as well.

I noticed its ratings were not very astronomical and Id hate to see it go the same way as The Wire.

Great show. The ratings on it suck so I hope that it won't be cancelled. Season 2 it just as good as the first if not better.

I enjoyed the first season. I hadn't even heard of it until I saw it on Netflix.

I was actually disappointed in it. Nothing to do with the acting, it just got boring to me after the first few episodes. I don't know why. I know its about intelligence gathering and stuff so there was no pretense of them being a part of some big battle, but it just got painfully slow to me.

Watched season 1, never got to season 2.

Yep. I really tried to like it, but couldn't.

Season 2 is much better than 1. Really stepped up their game - looking forward to season 3.

They had so much setup the first half of the first season it was pretty slow. But the second half and all the way through the second season were good

it'll be difficult to make it/keep it interesting since we know what happens ... assuming their historical facts about espionage/technology are 50 % accurate, it could be really interesting .. i've watched both seasons and will watch the 3rd ...

I thought season 2 got better and better as it went on.

It's a good show..

It's one of those shows that starts slow because it requires so much set up. The latter half of season 1 really upped the ante and season 2 is great.

I'm a history nerd though and I'm really into military/espionage books... so this show was tailor made for me haha

I binge watched season 2 and liked it better than season 1 as a result.

Major Andre is one of those guys where the actual reality of the man is somehow better than the fiction-- he was essentially James Bond back in colonial times- seriously, even just reading his wiki and not say an author's account he sounds like one smooth operator.
