I get the impression the manga is probably better (especially early on), but I really enjoyed the show a lot. While there's some suspension of disbelief required here and there, the twists and character development were plenty interesting, especially as the season progressed, and the (horrifying) 2nd lead got introduced. Idk whether it will get another season or not, but I'd definitely keep watching if it does.
The only downside was I couldn't find JP subs for it anywhere, so I varied btwn audio-only (with mixed comprehension), or constantly pausing, checking subs, and re-listening. So I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, unless you're already used to audio-only at this level. There's a lot of politics and other stuff that it isn't fun to miss out on.
