I recently finished the first season and overall I think it was a decent show. I'd probably rate it a solid B. There were a few plot points that I really had a problem with but most of them were resolved in a manner that lessened at least some of my annoyances.

I'll give season 2 a go and see how that turns out.

What's this series about? The posted link is too flash/image heavy and Metacritic doesn't really explain what the show is about.

Probably easier just to watch the first episode!

Yes. Watch the first one and you're hooked. It's about a family of travelers (gypsies). Excellent writing and acting.

It took me three episodes to feel comfortable downloading the rest of the season's episodes but it's pretty good. It's a notch below premiere shows but worthy of viewing.

The only part I don't get so far is why he was so good at golf. Can't fake that. They mention he's a "half breed" so I suppose I'll find out later how he grew up before switching to the gypsy life.

Creeping though this series, I'm on episode S01 E07.

It's mostly entertaining albeit a tad on the unbelievable side.

My favorite part so far:
[Show]
When Wayne/Doug is asked by the lawyer of the one armed lady that was attacked by an alligator to write down a figure on a piece of paper with what he thought the settlement amount should be. It cracked me up when she sees the zero he writes.

The hillbilly camp scenes are my least favorite parts of the show
