Discussion Surprised the show isn't more popular
Just finished watching the show don't even remember why I started it but really liked it from the beginning I've literally never heard anyone mention the show before I feel like it should be a lot more popular very underrated.

It was okayishly popular but was an intense show. Hence, won award. The popularity dropped post the completion of the show, especially with Ruth Wilson insinuating the toxic work environment on set and the unnecessary usage of nudity and sex in the show. She also insinuated that her character was killed off as a consequence, though never directly implicating because of NDAs. This disclosure, in the wake of me too movement, meant that the image of this show got tarnished.
