Its general theme is set up quickly, and then it has a significant evolution. Overall it's light on the brain, and has generally-believable characters.
Unfortunately, the character who can be most easily seen as the lead is as charismatic as a stone. This is really distracting, and it took most of the season for me to even begin to empathise with him.

Nothing to gain
Nothing surrounds me
Nothing stays the same
I fought so long
To keep from going under
But why hang on?
Nothing matters at all
Nothing at all
I try to hide it
To avoid the shock
But I get pulled inside it
My nothing box
I fought so long
To keep from going under
But why hang on?
Nothing matters at all
Nothing at all
Prick my finger and you suck me dry
So dry, no tears to cry
Take take, fate worse than death
Keep taking till there's nothing left
There was a time in my life
When you were everything, everything to me
Everything, everything to me
For one moment I had it all
Then you took everything, everything from me
Everything, everything from me
You filled me with nothing
Nothing at all
I fought so long
To keep from going under
But why hang on?
Nothing matters at all
Nothing at all
