The setting is gritty and nifty 80's urban landscape with a great and horrible background soundtrack. However, the series, so far, falls down there and can not get up. The characters are oddly and poorly written and caricatures of the worst kind. The examples to give would just be spoilers, so...

Just follow the law of physics for equal and opposite reactions and apply it to story plot but modify to equal but stupid/chatty reactions and you'll be spot on. Watch ALONE and enjoy the better dialog.
