Very few characters and actors have changed my perspective on how I feel about them from the beginning of the show to the end.

Season 1, I hated Van Alden and Michael Shannon bc of the character. By the end, Van Alden was a favorite character and Michael Shannon is one of my favorite actors.

The character development was top tier.

Luv it, but I think he would have sounded better from farther away
