Watched the first two episodes of this last night. Think I might watch a couple more tonight. Has anyone seen the whole series? Is it worth spending some time on in your opinion?

But that's less important than the really fantastic lead performance and amazingly eerie sense of atmosphere.

So far I think it's got more to do with the Occupy Wall Street thing - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_Wall_Street than Anonymous
After four episodes I got pissed off with the Morphine/drugs shit and decided to pause this, and watch some Californication instead.
