I'll admit my bias right now: I am a huge fan of Robert Knepper. Since Prison Break, I have tried to find anything with his name in the credits. There's just something about his acting style that pulls you in and makes you forget that you're watching a show. Without looking into the plot line (which is essentially a paradoxical loop: a show within a show attempting to create a cult within a cult among its illusionary audience aka the other characters and its real audience aka us), the show gets high ratings for Robert Knepper's Billy. The way that he turns towards the screen and talks about how everyone is his family draws you towards him as if you were a lost soul needing to belong. Thankfully, he's just an actor and at the end of the day you're not visiting fanboards trying to find out where his compound lies. If you watch this show for one thing, watch it for Robert Knepper's performance!
