I'm horrified by the idea I might not have seen it. EVER!
in the first season Joe(Lee Pace) is the heart of the show. watching him is like watching train wreck. youre horrified/fascinated by his methods and you cant look away. lol. no seriously I started watching bc of Lee Pace and his..... passionate character. I could feel the energy, his willpower through the screen. (the scene at the end of ep 2, best acting I've seen) plus watching Joe create chaos and everyone running around like headless chickens is endlessly entertaining LMAO.
at first Gordon was just spineless engineer and Donna was nagging mother and Cameron was wild card and Joe... well, Joe was manipulative ba$t*rd but as the show progressed the characters changed in the most realistic way. they matured! the writers offered real growth and change while maintaining the characters core. Gordon grow a spine but he remained a follower, a builder not a leader. Joe stopped being ba$tard but kept being manipulative.
but the true power of the show is feminine power. Cameron and Donna were..... unique. it is unique for a show to focus on women that way. they gave the women the same attention and storylines they gave the men. they weren't just love interests!
usually, I don't care to watch this type of shows bc we all know the end, we know the winners. those characters seem like they don't have future bc we already know the future. its bittersweet but it's worth it this time bc the story and the acting... aha the acting is formidable.
insanity is trying the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. this show is insane bc no matter how many time you knock these ppl to the ground they try again.
