Moved too quickly in first two eps

IMO they really could've stretched some questions out for a longer period of time. They answered many right away, like Eddie being Danny's real name. For a moment I thought the wife had an affair in the past & Danny had killed him. Also I don't like the Jezabelle character. Perhaps it was the point to build her up then we see the unexpected, but IMO I would rather have seen a movie star type femme fatal who had secrets on everyone in Meadowlands which would be the reason why they all looked so forward to seeing her again. And they really could've spread Jack's character out longer before they revealed what he'd done & killed him off. I know he was violent & creepy but that made him a very dangerous & interesting character which they could've used throughout for at least the first season. Just my opinion.

Yeah they are doing a bunch of things quickly... in the first part of the third episode i said to myself " kinda bored here " but then all of a sudden i regained interest so as long as im interested i'll watch.

Well, if you're used to watching network television where seasons stretch for up to 20+ episodes, then yeah it might be a lot of content for one episode, however on Showtime and the like the seasons are mainly 10-12 episodes long, which means more content per episode. For me, a devoted Showtime fan, this was normal, and as much as I would love a 22 episode season of this show, it just wouldnt work on network TV.

I think Jezebel and her mother are really entertaining. It's funny to see how out of touch with reality they are, always telling Zoe she's ugly or saying how they like to help the little people, such as the Brogans.
