None of the characters are remotely likeable or interesting. Indeed, they are detestable & one-dimensional morons-- especially the one who, in front of his teenage son, presses a hot iron into the face of a junkie just for being 100 short on a debt. How absurd.The writers are oblivious about how to write smart engaging characters. The only thing that keeps me watching is to see them all suffer. And what's with all the beards?
