I see lots of one and two-star reviews here. That is ABSURD. This is a really good series.. pretty near to movie quality. Great special effects. Really good casting. Really good directing. The acting is impressive, and as the series continues, the casting choices reveal themselves to more and more fitting. So why the negativity?

Well, other than sabotage, I'm guessing the viewers who take issue with this series have a beef with the writing. Dont get me wrong - the writing is intelligent and heartfelt. But there's an awful lot of stuff that perpetually goes wrong. Each of those scenes are well executed, but the perpetual disasters lead me to believe these people are near cursed. Every single plot development is wrought with bad luck and near disaster, and the decision making from these otherwise intelligent and realistic characters borders horror movie clichés.

Perhaps our frustration with the characters' encounters with conflict stems from the fact that they ARE very realistic and that they connect deeply with their audience. And that makes the authenticity of a meddling pychopath and unsuccessful aspirations of the main cast personally painful for those who are watching.

Other than that, I'm very impressed with the series, and I'm super disappointed to see such backlash and virtol with such a quality production. I hope they continue with the story and that the people who take offense with the characters' struggles are able to realize it is the sign of thoughtful writing and good acting that these episodes are capable of invoking such an emotional response.
