Though the premise is good, the way that the time-line is presented (ala cuisinart) generally signals to me that the writers are in over their heads. If you can't tell an interesting tale without chopping the story up this much, you need to look for alternate work.
Some flashbacks are fine and some reveals are OK but this episode suggested that there's going to be way too much of this
