I was so prepared to LOVE this series, especially since it stars one of my favorite actors (Matthew Goode), but sadly this was not the case. The writing was painfully cliche, with some of the laziest characterizations I've seen in awhile. The lead actress is a total bore. Even the music is bad. It just got worse and worse with each episode; characters who have never met onscreen suddenly know each other well. Characters who have barely gotten to know each other are suddenly making declarations of undying love to one another. Transitions are jarring and plot developments are endlessly frustrating. The script is tedious; I feel bad for the actors who have to speak such uninspired lines. Sometimes I swear I can see Matthew Goode questioning his life choices as he delivers his cringiest lines. Why couldn't the writers take what was obviously lame source material and try to make this story 2018-level TV-ready? Lazy, lazy shame. What a stinker!
