Some scenes were a gut punch while others were over the top hilarious.
Incredibly fun and violent. Pretty good satire of many parts of American culture and politics.
Don't bother with the books though. They are absolutely trash. It's awful. One of the rare cases where the movie/show is far better than the book.
Season 2 incoming and it's a better reason to avoid the books because they are loosely following the story of the books.
From what I've read in the books and the parts they've cast for season 2 it's going to be even better.
