Taylor is not compelling and neither is any other character on this show. Taylor is an emotionless robot that inspires nothing. Taylor and BB mustache guy are perfect examples of them trying way too hard to offer characters that are different for the sake of being different. Both are annoyingly unrealistic.
I would argue that character development is where Showtime shows really lack. The characters are hard to root for. Shameless is terrible. The idea of a family of assholes is good for only so much. Stopped watching years ago.
Homeland is good but Carrie is downright unwatchable half the time, and unlikeable most of the time. I think Saul is the only person I like on Showtime.

The shows just fall short of greatness on Showtime. Very watchable, but they get old fast.
