answer:It does not get better. If you don’t like it now, don’t bother. I think the concept is intriguing, and Michael C. Hall is great (especially in Six Feet Under). But the show has always suffered from some really poor writing and some embarrassing acting (Jennifer Carpenter). Despite my reservations, however, I have watched nearly all of this. I keep saying that I will stop, but I have invested too much in it. I just wish the writers would get the hell out of the way.
