Solid review.  I must only comment on your critique of Carries Bi-polar episode.  Your comment just goes to show how we still as a people have a hard time understanding mental disorders.  You made the statement that you don't like actors being showy and twitchy, somehow to garner awards attention.  I hate to break it…

do you mean Dawes the band.  Because if you do…nice shout out to a relatively unknown awesome band.

I think one of the biggest problems with the show has been the way the producers have promoted  it.  For one, if one was familiar with the original series from Denmark, they would know that that show was 20 episodes long, with a 6 month hiatus between episodes 10 and 11.  This is the same breaking point in the story…
