Why...? It started so well
27 December 2013
Oh... I was so into this 1st season. I thought it was damn good, given all the possibilities with such a subject to give us a too-usual bad sci-fi TV program. But wow, it raised great questions, the acting is really good, the plot not simplistic and predictable: what a pleasure! ...Until the last three episodes... WTF?! It's like they suddenly realized that they needed to close the first season and panicked to have to do so in such a short time. The pace changes drastically and I felt we were back to the "usual" (lame) shortcuts used by any sci-fi US TV series... How disappointed and enraged I was! How could they do that? The first episodes reached such a level, it can't be by accident! What happened?! Did they need to tick all the commercial boxes and absolutely close "neatly" but poorly at the end of 1st season? Trying to make all the story lines come together in such a short period of time, come on!?! Take your time, don't rush!!! Believe in what you've manage to create to keep us interested! Doesn't make me want to see the next season, what good can come out of this now that they destroyed the good work...? Special thoughts to the actors that kept bravely doing their job, which showed even more that the problem lies in the turns the story has suddenly taken. They kept their acting to the best, but it cannot work. (Forget about the nice subtle transitions always sustained by great insight in "human" condition, and welcome to the usual so called "entertaining" messy story telling) Guys, you had something unique and now it simply feels like the merging of all the US clichés the genre is polluted by! I'm so disappointed... Thanks anyway for the beginning.
