There's a chance this show gets canceled, but the season ended last night and it was amazing. Best new show of the year and I really hope FX gives it a shot at another season.
Anyone else get into this?

ive only seen tv spots and quick bits of this show and it seemed laughably bad. so much so that its basically a punchline in our house. what am i missing?
It started off good, riding on the alchemy between stars Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James, real-life pals playing best friend PIs in a dingy seaside SoCal town. It got even better, with a deft mix of standalone and serialized stories. Some weeks, we got simple cases that could make you laugh and gasp in the space of an hour. Other weeks, the guys got in way over their heads in a dark, knotty and never dull story involving the best kind of villains for any good PI story: rich and powerful men doing wicked and mysterious things, little imagining that low-rent little guys can do anything to stop them. And throughout that mix, we've gotten great heart-on-sleeve acting by Logue and Raymond-James as each deeply flawed hero struggled to do right by the women they loved (and in some cases, were done wrong by those women).

Yeah this is a really good show. I've really enjoyed this first season. The two leads are really fun to watch, very funny, very good (as in kind, honest, good) characters. Bummer on the cancellation.
