It's hard to believe that there weren't some smart people working on this - so who thought it would be a good idea for one of the main characters to be a whiny teenage brat? I mean, I know they exist, but they're not engaging characters and it's very difficult to feel much sympathy for such entitled self-indulgence. So that's the first problem.
The second huge problem is the manic changes of direction the main characters take (and the pretty inexcusable chances that they roll the dice on along the way). Say one thing, do another. Ignorance might be bliss, but in some situations it's just plain dumb.
Garner's not great in this either, but it's possible some her obvious discomfort was actually caused by the erratic script (and story-line) and not by the predicament she's in.
And if the baddies are so bad, how can they be so useless?
All in all it doesn't add up - and there are much better and more engaging shows on offer.
