I discovered this show by accident around 5 months ago while channelsurfing at 1am. Turns out one of the local networks here had picked up Season 1, so since I ended up camping at my parents' place for the summer on account of a burst water pipe in my apartment, I made good use of their TiVo. Of course they didn't pick up season 2, so I started poking around the internet for season 2.

I like the show for much of the same reasons as you stated, it's a show about people, before it's about the various fantasy creatures, which is the same reason I got so utterly hooked by Battlestar Galactica.
