The immediate rewatch is making me appreciate much more the character development, how later seasons pick up on stuff that was laid down here and already in the first season. The tale of Donna and Cameron and how they basically start acting like Joe when they realize their ambition, the depth of desperation in which Joe is falling, the pit from which Gordon is gonna have to crawl out...
Plus, honestly, this is such a lovely watch, of course when it's entertaining and fun, but also when it gets really sad, because it's so nice to be with such well written characters. What a show. I'm gonna miss it, when we finish this rewatch.
Even on a rewatch that made me appreciate season 1 more, the upgrade on season 2 is palpable. After a couple of episodes to start the engines, it becomes amazing.

The decision to focus more on the female characters was incredibly wise: everybody and everything benefit from that. This is where it becomes a great show.
