I understand what you're getting at, and it's a fair point. But one shouldn't read this and think it goes downhill from there, as that's nowhere near the case. What I'll say in order to avoid spoiling is I felt the show did a great job with twists and turns plus mixing in subtly and not so subtly shocking moments, as well as being a great watch even when uneventful things were going on. For me, just watching Nesbitt mannerisms or seeing and hearing Karyo made it a worthwhile viewing experience, with the rest icing on the proverbial cake.
Of course not everyone will end up thinking it's as outstanding as myself and others have said, but I advise most everyone to stick with it unless you feel you cannot connect with the characters. After all, some have posted in OOTV that they did enjoy it more as they went along. Plus, we're talking about 8 hours total, not something on the order of slogging through all seasons of Lost or Dexter.
