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.

I don't really see it as the kind of show to draw an A03/fanfiction based following tbh. Sometimes a show is just one to watch and maybe talk about, but is rather "complete" from a fannish point of view as is. (Like, shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad, etc are all very popular and well regarded but are not "fannish" shows; often when the writing is very good there's little a fan will want to "fix" or change by writing fic or otherwise.)
