I won't spoil anything because the story itself is pretty simple but told in a very new, refreshing and rather confusing way, but what I will never forget from that show is the characters. The two main characters are so god damn well made that even from the first episode they cross the border from 'actor playing a character' to 'actor becoming the character'.
It's a show about philosophy, extreme personalities that interact with each other and the world around them, the dirty and unwanted mixed with a very adult humor and fucking beautiful camerawork that in itself throws references to Tarantino, Fincher and Nicolas Winding Refn. I highly recommend it, especially because Season 2 is in the making and it looks very promising too.
