I completely agree, but he is so annoying that it took me at least 3 tries to feel any sympathy for him. Now I appreciate him as a tragic character, and the actor is fantastic.

The 2nd season is brilliant, but it's hard to appreciate it on the first watch because it seems to abandon so many of the characters they made you care about in the first. But on a re-watch, you really care about the dock crew. And after 3 or 4 re-watches, you almost feel bad for Ziggy.
