The characters are unconvincing and the directing is also not that good. The only good parts are the fighting scenes. Maybe I'm spoilt by more serious movies and great acting in shows like Boardwalk, Breaking Bad, True Detective, House of Cards, Thrones etc etc.
Why do you guys love it? I would like to know... maybe it will convince me to watch further...

I think the concept of the Kingpin being a bullied browbeaten young man at the hands of his overbearing father has given rise to his social inadequacies ,and the
scriptwriters have incorporated this into his make up. I actually think acclaimed actor Vincent Onofrio's portrayal of Fisks erratic nature is a highlight of the show.
I also think what's unique is unlike most adaptations of the super villain the writers have incorporated deeper character flaws ,and Onofrio breathes a freshness into
Fisk that thus far has been missing ,what's also incomparable to other screen adaptations is the close relationship he has with James Wesley ,its almost like an eponymous
family .
If you think about it Fisks vision for Hells Kitchen is unflinching and upon witnessing the drunken revelry and the obsequious drop into licentiousness of its inhabitants he
feels almost duty bound to cleanse it of its vermin ,and we're left in little doubt of the furious retribution that will soon fall on this unfortunate carousal.

A few words of the day in there RBG
Often actors don't do their characters justice but Onofrio really nailed this.

I'm afraid, your take on the character is more interesting than the character itself in the show. Yeah I kind of understand how they are trying to portray him and Vincent D'Onofrio is actually a very good actor. But I still feel that that kind of character is not suited for the role of the Kingpin. Maybe I'll warm up to the character yet, after watching more episodes. To me, this Fisk's characteristics are more in tune with those of a lone psychopath serial killer and not those of a crime boss who commands the respect of an army of followers. He doesn't look menacing enough, he isn't calculating enough, he isn't brilliant enough, he is just too weird and unpredictable. In fact James Wesley seems to be baby-sitting him, when he is supposed to be a self-made man/crime boss.

Haven't seen it yet, just downloading it as I type this. Looking forward to seeing it though, as I was one of the Wildling extras on the jetty at Hardhome when Jon Snow arrived with Tormund and then charging about all over the shop being chased by dead things!
