Ok so I only originally watched this to see amy Adams but as it turned out the show wasn't bad it had alot of potential there was mystery and adventure I can see this show going far but my advice is don't get HBO just to watch this particular series but if you already have HBO to give it a try I did love Amy Adams as usual shes brilliant and very good here we shall see what happens with the show from here
