Who has seen this show? I finished the first (and only season currently) and thought it was amazing. I'm thinking of continuing with the comics. I know comic book genre subversion is all the rage but I like the way this story did it.

I found this video interesting considering that I myself have grown bored of twist villains. Maybe this show can restore hope that it can be done right.

I like the thesis behind this video, establishing twist villains early on and giving us time with them, I think this show did it very well, unfortunately I was spoiled by the reveal scene in the last episode before I even started watching the show (I first learned about it through the meme) so I'll never know what it was like to see the show unspoiled. Even knowing the final reveal I still enjoyed the show and was on the edge of my seat through most of it.
