Finished season 1. I watched the last 5 episodes of the season all in one day. I love this show and it really came together in the last half of the season. I don't understand how this show has the bad reviews that its gotten. I've already ordered the season 2 dvd on Amazon.
Jeremy Renner is great. He carries the show and it doesn't work without him.
Also a lot of the supporting characters are great: Bunny, Ian, Iris, P-Dog, Ed and Milo. I wasn't really into Aiden Gillen at first, but he really grew on me by the end. The season really sets him up as a major antagonist.
I couldn't stand Renner's mom on the show. Her scenes are always in the least interesting in the show. Also, the prison guard that got switched to the woman's prison, wow, what a complete idiot he was. My least favorite characters.
I thought the last couple episodes with
[Show spoiler] prison riot
where the best of the season.
Question for people who are further along on the show: When Mike digs up the school bus, does that ever get brought up again?
