The first few episodes show so much promise. But overall this series suffers from an affliction that a lot of the current tv series suffer from. The idea for a decent 2 hour movie spread over 8 hours. It sprawls out and relaxes, loses any sense of urgency and puts the viewer in a virtual coma. A great movie and idea given too much room to spread out. "Slow tv" I guess it's called. "Coma tv" would be more accurate.
