I want to like it so much but nearly every scene is plagued by poor writing and amateurish directing. Clearly cavil is doing fine but 1 man can't carry the whole show. I don't even think the main characters in the two respective shows are good; it's all crap to me.

I also think that the whole "bad ass chick" shtick is so eye-rolling, tiring, and just not believable. This usually happens in stories and cinema where the people behind them are really passionate about their feminism; people can be as passionate about it as they want, whatever, but writing female characters that are totally stripped of their femininity because it's considered "sexist" and just told to play these one-note "bad asses" is the result of that. Basically, they seem to confuse character weaknesses and/or feminine traits to be negative gender stereotypes. I think they also miscast these characters as well, as they usually try to get young (or older sometimes) hotties to play roles that are supposed to inspire some combination of fear, authority, respect or so on.
