I've watched the first three episodes now. It's a clever and interesting show. I remembered what bothered me about it though: ultraviolence, some of which is really pretty gratuitous.
I don't normally get bothered by violence in the slightest, but something about the degree of what's shown combined with the relatively light tone skeezes me out.
For example it has a pretty pointless and extended scene where a bound character is tortured by having chillies, sand, and bleach applied to his eyes and face, then has an eye scooped out with a spoon.
Anyway, apart from that it's a decent political satire slash thriller with a lot of nifty twists and turns.
