Hey, I thought the EXACT same thing...til Tort finally convinced me to watch it. Trust me, this is the Daniel Alfredsson of shows: it's NOTHING like what it seems (for those who don't know the captain of the Sens, he appears to be a caring, well-spoken, mature hockey player......he's not). Really, it looks like the worst drudge on TV but is in fact one of the best shows around. It's smart, well-written, and has quite a complex plot structure that rivals the HBO shows.
Just try the first 3 eps this summer when nothing else is on. Then you can have a real opinion on the show
I was there on that fateful day, were you?
