This is one I should probably revisit. I watched the first season and remember not liking it as much as most.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Now I love this show, but I wasn't blown away by S1 when I first watched it either. It didn't really evolve from "good" to "great" until S3/S4. Not sure if it took them a minute to find their groove, or took me a minute to settle into the rapid-fire pace of their jokes.
My thoughts exactly, was a bit lukewarm to S1, but by the time they got to S3 the cast really came into their own. I seem to catch a new joke, awkward expression, lude comment, etc face every time I watch it. Gary is still my fave

And they really hit the ground running. The exchange between Danny and Jonah had me in stitches.

Anything involving her ex husband being super corrupt/unethical brought the lulz.
