I love Matthew Goode, and that's why I wanted to watch this show. It starts off well, but as someone mentioned, the story is spoonfed to you. I like to figure things out for myself. The pacing of their love story was just a little rushed for me. While I feel the chemistry between the actors, the interaction/dialogue between the characters didn't leave me wanting me more. I'm almost disappointed that Matthew Goode is a part of this. It's on the cheesy side. It's far better than Twilight and slightly better than Vampire Diaries, but it feels like a teen show with a big budget. I'll give season 2 a try, but for now season one is a pass.
