Yeah.. that's still presuming I'm less intelligent lol.
The fact is when I compare it to other shows which rely on ensemble casts like Mad Men, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under etc. The pacing just doesn't compare. It's too slow, characters don't really develop very well, or at a reasonable pace.
Take jamie for instance. For 2 seasons he's a massive douche, then in all of 2 episodes this season they try and put on you that maybe he's not such a bad guy- they just throw it at you with no prior hints or build up- thats poor scripting in my opinion.
Sadly the show is pretty overrated in my opinion, all it does to make up for it's flaws is try to cover up it's lack of movement with jokes, insults and sex scenes. I still enjoy and watch it, but I have no illusions that it deserves as much praise as it seems to receive
