After two seasons - season 2 better than 1 - I'm convinced and will watch the third. The cast is very variable in terms of quality. Felicity Huffman does a good job, Timothy Hutton less so, Regina King in a permanent close-up only convinces me to a certain extent, but it's the good stories that convince me and once again the proof that ABC dares to tackle unwieldy topics and hold a mirror up to a bigoted society. So you can't and don't have to like any of the characters and you can watch this series as a sociological study of a society torn apart by religious delusion, race and class struggle and displaying a materialistic harshness that is quite something. I'm glad I don't have to live in this country and prove every day what a tough guy I am who has nothing else in mind but to survive - whatever the cost.
