My own take is that the show is about a guy learning that operating with a badly damaged moral compass as a youth has long reaching consequences when one enters adulthood.

In many ways, the show's basic premise is fitting metaphor for America in the late twentieth/early twenty first century.
More generally, notwithstanding the poison of most reality shows--I am of the view that we're in a golden age of television.
YMMV.

Great transformation from felony to just misdemeanor I guess.
