Luck

I know that.

The article is borderline insulting. You can't compare this show to The Wire with a straight face. That show was intriguing from episode 1. It didn't rely on known actors and borderline self-indulgent casting like the annoying asian poker player that was in Big Trouble in Little China.

The content is lacking on the show. The characters are lacking. To compare it to one of the best series in the past 30 years is laughable.
