First of all, just because a show is about some serious subject doesn't automatically make it a good show. Most of the reviews have been glowing and they make much of the things about it that really are good. I find myself agreeing with most of them. My problem is with the characters, the situations they are placed in, and the dialogue. These are simply not believable. It does not help that so much of the storytelling is dependent on a fictitious character of whom far too much is expected.
