I finished it last night and enjoyed it. It's not a show that'll be nominated for any Emmys, but I was sufficiently entertained. I might've enjoyed it even more if I hadn't remembered so much from the novel, but that's a compliment more than anything because it means that it's a very close adaptation.
It was refreshing to have a show centered on an unapologetically masculine hero. There are strong females, too, but the strong male isn't sidelined or made to appear weaker for their sake, as is the case in several other recent shows. The show felt very 1990s to me, mostly in a good way.
I'm looking forward to the second season. As I said in the other thread, I hope that they adapt the second novel, since that's probably my favorite. Apparently, Alan Ritchson (the star) is keen to do that one next, as well.
