i'm torn. this show is so bad that it's almost good. it's definitely funny, but for all the saddest reasons. first of all, the writing is awful. lines like "There's a fungus among us!" .... come on, guys. and the acting!! oh, the acting! i've seen Rufus sewell in several movies and i've always thought he was a good actor. but here he is laughable. maybe it's the writing. and Marley Shelton is predictably awful as well... lots of smoldering glances and squinting eyes to convey emotion... which somehow only gets conveyed as ridiculous. and finally, the story lines fail to hold anything resembling interest. each episode is consistently un-interesting and completely boring. the only way to know that "action" is happening is to listen for added drama in the soundtrack.
so, in summary... if you're the kind of person who enjoys watching awful scripts and bad acting because it's funny, then you should watch this show. otherwise, stay away from it. unless you're a victim of insomnia. in which case, you might give this a try.
