I'm not a fan coming from the books. Just saw the show when flipping through on demand. The writing is funny, little things that add to a scene. It just makes the show enjoyable. Were you a fan of firefly/serenity? You know how you watched that and thought "this is diffrent, idk what I'm watching but this is cool". I finally found another show that makes me feel that way. 2 shows in and it's awesome
