They did not explain any of the characters at all. They just jump right in and I guess assume you read the book. If you haven’t read the book, you really have no idea what is behind all the characters.
Why was Crocker called the 60-min man? Who knows.
Peepgrass was Crocker’s banker. Crocker was $800MM in debt. Peep should have made millions and millions on those bank deals. Why was he living in a cruddy apartment and not able to pay off baby momma? Who knows?
The other guy running for Mayor, where is he at? What’s his deal and story? Who knows?

Agree with this. I had no idea there was a book associated. Just watched because it was in the top-10 on Netflix, had Jeff Daniels, and was looking for a drama.
I watched the whole thing and left with the same questions as you. Peepgrass was sitting in board meetings but was living like a mailroom guy? The different storylines were held together by the thinnest of threads. Oh well, at least Diane Lane is still hot.

Enjoyed the novel back in the day but pretty bored by the first episode of the series. I don't think I'll end up watching the rest.
