It's hard to believe that the TV audience of this show didn't turn on it about half-way through season 1. It's sad to think that most people liked this show ... maybe it's another sign that the masses aren't intelligent enough to avoid environmental collapse.

My neighbor lent me the first season and the first hours were decent entertainment, but each episode after that went downhill quickly. I couldn't believe just how stupid the actions of the characters, especially the "good guys" could be. Why didn't anyone, like say Kiefer Sutherland say "wait a second, something has gone terribly wrong". It's as though they fired the original writers and replaced them with some out-of-work soap opera writers. (with apologies to soap-opera writers) This show went from action to becoming a pathetic comedy.

I'm a heavy user of IMDb and this is the first comment I've ever written. I felt compelled, especially seeing it's high rating, to save others from watching an extremely disappointing show.
