Have watched ep 1 and 2- obviously some new characters will get a chance to show their acting skills, so
that is one benefit of having some main characters leaving the show early.
Agree that the direction of the show has moved into dark territory, and it's the introduction of guns into
the show that has drastically changed the possibilities. After all, the consequences of a fist fight are scrapes,
bruises, maybe some crutches.
Consequences of guns are funerals.
Will still follow this drama, but have some reservations about its direction.
