I can't understand how this show has achieved the acclaim it has. While it is slick and well produced, it is also sappy, schmaltzy and predicable. I found myself clicking forward frequently to move the lethargic plot along. The acting is over-the-top; there is no spontaneity. Other than the main character, few among the supporting cast are well developed. Don't waste your time unless you're a fan of maudlin melodrama.
