And oh god, there's so much stuff I hadn't noticed the first time around, and a few foreshadows that send shivers down my spine. It's truly an amazing show.

What I find remarkable is how consistently good all the seasons are (with a slight dip in the final season, in my opinion).

I used argue with a friend about which is the best, and you could make a convincing argument for any of them, really.

I was always partial to the second season, personally.

The 2nd season is brilliant, but it's hard to appreciate it on the first watch because it seems to abandon so many of the characters they made you care about in the first. But on a re-watch, you really care about the dock crew. And after 3 or 4 re-watches, you almost feel bad for Ziggy.
