Big Problems (Spoilers).
Without being long-winded, I saved the first season of Low Winter Sun to watch by itself after Breaking Bad was over. At first, I kind of liked it- the grittiness appealed to me, anti-hero main character, etc.- however, it only took about four episodes for me to begin to cash-out on the series. The biggest problem with Low Winter Sun, again, unlike Breaking Bad, is that it has a dumb main character. And when I say "dumb," that is what I mean. We are lead to believe that Frank would kill McCann on the suggestion of Geddes (whom Frank does not trust) because Geddes tells Frank that McCann killed his girlfriend (without proving this and finding her body). What? Seriously? A cop will just kill another cop and not need some more proof that the guy did the crime? And, on top of it all, when Frank does track down his supposed killed girlfriend, she tells him to get lost, she doesn't want anything to do with him. Some girlfriend and some relationship they must have had. Definitely worth killing for her (sarcasm). So, I saw all of this put together, I bailes on Low Winter Sun, just like a lot of people.
