Aahh, I'm simultaneously so delighted that you might watch it and worried that you might find it too much of a wait for the parts you're most interested in! So just as a heads up, we don't even meet Shaw until partway through the second season, which is also the season when the Machine gets to be more than a plot device. But yeah, I'm irrationally attached to this show, even though it broke my heart a few separate times. And it does have some great semi-reformed killers who care about their dog. ♥
