I just started watching and got as far as the second scene of the 2nd episode before having to shut it down because of the awful acting - and I mean this is VERY bad acting. To call it subpar would not cut it. I'm referring primarily to the female lead and her partner. I didn't have a problem with the supporting cast thus far.

Next day I came to see the reviews (the morning after) out of curiosity and I'm fascinated (and a little surprised frankly) to see that just about everyone felt the same way about the lead character.

Yet some reviewers also confirmed my hunch about the subject matter, which I thought could be excellent. So I'm going back to it and will be back to update my review.

For now I'll just say I can't imagine how or why the lead was cast in this. Especially because of the series' potential. The writing struck me as more than adequate at the least. The subject matter is intriguing. It's also obvious they made a significant effort/investment in the sets and special effects. So why not cast capable actors? Especially in the lead roles!

On the other hand, Nick Offerman is unsurprisingly excellent in the male lead role - although he is a bit obnoxious intentionally. As for the rest of the cast, it's too soon for me to say... TBC.
