I became a Livingston Season Ticket holder after Band of Brothers. Him, Karl Urban and Dominic Cooper - you cast any of those three and I'm watching it. They're just criminally underrated character/television actors.

It’s been long enough I should rewatch S1 but I remember being surprised I liked it and the soundtrack was good. Thanks.

tl;dr: Watch Loudermilk.
Yeah, so after you posted this, I went ahead and binged it. So it turns out I had watched it all and didn't remember it. Which is weird, because I'm really into it.
I think it strikes a nice balance. There is some really dark and heavy shit in there. REALLY ****ing dark. They balance it out with some ridiculous and some funny stuff and sprinkle in some nice character arc.
The deep shit was disturbing. Cutter going off the reservation and never coming back - that's heavy yo. I won't lie, Mugsy falling off the wagon and breaking down in group was fairly soul crushing. A lot of times, he was a cartoon but they threw enough real stuff in there that it hit. If Mugsy was the main character of the show it would be a shit ending LOL. I recognize that's a reality of addiction, but it was still plenty heavy. And I'm glad they balanced it with some levity.
DJ is right. Livingston is great. He does the comedy well, the **** off attitude well, and does a lot without dialogue. He is fantastic in this scene. The eulogy scene was great too.
SIDENOTE: That ****ing song earwormed it's way into my dome and won't get out. That gal is an actual artist. She has a bunch of stuff out there under the name Lissie. Most of it isn't my jam, but that song is really good.
Watch at your own risk...
That Lizzy Poole storyline was really good and well acted by all involved. I was surprised how much I enjoyed that.
