Hmmm... yes, I think finding Don intriguing is really critical. I find him only mildly intellectually intriguing, so I think that's a bit of a stumbling block for me. I also don't really care what his childhood trauma is--it doesn't excuse his shitty treatment of his wife, who is probably my favourite character on the show. I don't think this is how I'm supposed to feel though, so I get the sense I'm not really the right audience for this show. But it's well made.
