The posts I made about the first season happened as it was being released, so it's worth remembering that a lot of my speculations turn out to be wrong, etc.  I didn't want to go back and redo those pieces, though, and left them here as just part of a fan's reaction to a show he both likes and is curious about.  You can access all those episode posts using the navigation bar at the top of the screen.

Also, just as an organizational note, these posts originally appeared on my personal Facebook page, which meant there were conversations in the comments.  So you will see occasional references to comments I'd seen on previous posts -- I couldn't figure out how to edit all of them out.  Also, at the bottom of each post you'll generally see some "comments" from me that are notes I made specifically in that part of the Facebook post, both to drive conversation and to avoid putting spoilers in the main body of the post.
