Frankly, the first season, apart from a few moments/characters is a total wash: bad script, bad character development, bad editing, Alison's weird little bun, and a completely embarrassing use of popular music to gloss over the fact that everything is a cliche.

Some things I did like: Klaus, Klaus' pants, Mary J Blige, Number 5 (to a point), the robot mom.

Things I hated: everything else

Someone had to twist my arm to make me watch the second season- and I am so glad they did!!! Basically, someone with talent came in and fixed all the bad stuff!!! Plus they added an actual cinematographer, and a decent sound editor, and probably a real writer for the script! Its like Christmas!

All of the actors that seemed so blah before now rock! Because they actually have depth to their characters! Lines they can say without cringing! And we get what we want: a story that actually interests us about people who actually care about each other (to a point).

SEVEN. STARS (up from 5)
