I watched two episodes, and while it isn't exactly my cup of tea, I am very happy Netflix succeeded in adding another top-notch show to its original programming lineup.

The future is bright.

Watched the first 2 episodes also. Meh. Not terrible but not exactly great either. Why are people so crazy about this show? I don't quite get it.

When was the last time you saw a high budget production with an almost entirely female cast? How about a series about the struggles of women prisoners?

Also, while WASP-out-of-her-element comedy is a bit tired, it isn't what drives the plot. That would be the stories of the individual characters, and what led them to where they are today.

It is a very solid show overall, and it shows the benefits of not being a slave to the ratings game.

Did anyone else watch the first season of Hemlock Grove, speaking of Netflix original series?

My wife and I watched it and, well it was at once intriguing and crap. Hard to describe.
