I'm not excited about the show's direction either. I don't expect the show to be light fare, and I realize that the parts I like, such as the chase, are limited by the story.
But sometimes they go overboard. It might be true to the chars, but it's difficult to watch. This season I think they're actually doing better on that front, though they still have scenes here or there that go for misery and depravity. But last season they focused on Philip's guilt, which built up throughout the season, and was very, very depressing.
