There are various storylines that (are supposed) intersect, however none are developed consistently or quickly or fully enough to identify, care about, or empathize with any of the characters. The sound is very imbalanced, the dialogue tries to hard to be clever and shows inconsistent characterization or is cliche, the production design is half-baked at best, the shots cut very abruptly, and the show tries too hard to be edgy and gritty without actually accomplishing it to the point of being farcical.
