The only negative thing of series 1 was the unnecessary darkness of most of the scenes, but the plot and characters were kind of appealing and interesting.
This series start bad with some huge cliché in sight, such as gang war, police corruption (only white male policemen, obviously), good Latino characters and Billy, who despite a major success, acts like a sad hopeless sack, getting blindly drunk.
Drunks are usually boring and self-involved and I hoped we did not get too much of Billy drunk. We got instead his lamenting that he bought a car without much reason and that he doesn't want to drive it so he uses a taxi... in LA? That seems kind of mighty stupid for somebody smart to do.
And of course, Billy just hands money around because he doesn't care... couldn't it at least give it to charity rather than to odd people? Whatever, this doesn't seem so interesting.
PS and why didn't he get his car fixed, instead?
