Halfway through season 1 and I am absolutely hooked. Paul Giamatti is fantastic as usual. His wife is crazy hot as well. Just finished the Americans and I am so pumped to be watching this now. I hope it doesn't fall off!

The opening scene of the first episode is interesting way to start the series. I have to be careful who I recommend the show to

First few seasons are great. The current season has fallen off a cliff

The show is a guilty pleasure of mine. I find it entertaining while realizing it is a terribly written nightmare of contrived plot devices that cannot stand up to three seconds of logical scrutiny.

Legal proceedings that would take months to investigate and file and then years to adjudicate somehow manage to get resolved in two days.

It's bad but I still watch.

I enjoyed the first 3 seasons. Cant exactly say why but I stopped watching about half way through the last season and have no desire to keep watching.

Seasons 1-3 were great. Now it just feels like the same stuff over and over. And a few times this season I felt almost embarrassed to be watching because it was so lame.

The show is entertaining, but the dialogue just irritates me to death.

It’s all clever quips back and forth, someone citing some random theory of philosophy or economy, everyone always one upping or outsmarting someone else. Never any normal conversation.

Basically just the writers showing off how worldly they are.

Losing interest in the show once Wendy sleeps with the Elon musk kinda guy. Really? Filthy witch. She has been enabling Axe's crew to be better cheaters and still holds her hubby to account for taking confidential info from her laptop (ya he messed up but he ain't cheating in you witch)

Axe is the billionaire but, Rhoades has the hotter wife.

Rhoades

Axe gets VIP treatment from Metallica, Rhoades hangs out at shady sub/dom clubs

Axe's right hand mand "Wags" > Rhoades' right hand man

No one wants to be Rhoades

As others say, the first season or 2 are the best. The current season was ok, but this last episode pissed me off. The Yale Law School class being a bunch of pussies and lecturing Rhodes on how law school is taught now in a kinder gentler fashion - frick that shite. Pussies. And the gratuitous tranny throw into the sociology class....why?? What was the purpose other than pleasing the alphabet soup crowd. Showtime always has frick up good shows by being politically correct and progressive, even when it adds nothing to the plot line of the show.
