It is nice to see diversity in a cast of a show like this. These actors are veteran actors and very good actors. Storylines are far fetched sometimes, but I like that. I like the fantasy of watching a show that is different from my life. It keeps your interest. The 2nd season is better than the 1st season so far, but both are worthy to watch.
Oh, and I have to add that John Salley is great in this show! He has small parts here and there, but he definitely shines.
