I've read well over a hundred reviews of this show and one thing is clear, people either love it or hate it. For me, it was hands down the most boring show I have ever seen, but given all the positive reviews I suffered through to the end of the pilot episode. The camera work is abysmal, not artistic; the characters are two-dimensional and often unlikable, the acting spotty, the production values barely adequate, but most of all it is neither entertaining nor interesting. Olmos mumbles and stumbles through his role and McDonnel's character is blah. Even so, given the huge number of rave reviews, I am tempted to try another few episodes. It has got to get better and maybe the pilot episode was necessarily boring to establish all the background elements needed to provide a logical development of the storyline. Maybe.
