I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yes, but it never radically departs from the established premise. The relationship between Russell and Rhys gets much more intense, though--that's ultimately the draw.

gotcha...i really enjoyed the first few episodes, but something just didn't click as much after...i'll finish out season 1 soon and reevaluate

Maybe it's not your speed but I think it's, without exaggeration, the best, most complex on-screen romantic relationship of the "prestige TV" era. All the stuff about trying to destroy America becomes a delightful window-dressing.

Looking over these lists, Mad Men is my only glaring omission. It’s such a commitment tho.
