After a clunky first episode (I'd give it a 6/10), the thing that keeps impressing me about this series is that it presents everything both subjectively but fairly. Characters that were introduced as one dimensional, eventually get their due. Some of them are very unlikable, they are all flawed as hell, but that's what makes this series worthwhile. Its not a bunch of paragons you can't relate to. We are all flawed people, and letting yourself root for them despite that provides a self-reflective catharsis.
Jesse Eisenberg turns in a good, but not boundary stretching performance. Claire Danes provides a sympathetic villain. And the writing is very good, but IMHO doesn't quite get men right (but it's very close).
