Lost in the rabbit hole

I am officially lost. I don't understand any more what is going on in this show. And even more importantly, why. Considering the plummeting ratings this season, it seems that I am not the only one who is frustrated. I find the "attraction" between Erica and Adam to be puzzling and absurd. The writers must have been very desperate for ways to get them together if the only thing they could think of is strand them on an uninhabited island?!?

Adam Fergus is not exactly "eligible" for a male beauty pageant, but I suppose that given a better role, he could have been likable. However, he is not - he is repulsive. I guess the writers were aiming for a "bad boy's image". Well, reality check, Sebastian Pigott did it much better although he was 15 years younger, 20 kilos lighter and did not beat up people for a living. I can't believe he was written out of the show so that Adam Fergus could take up the place of Erica's "object of affection". Hell, Ethan would have done a better job. Or Ryan. Or even Dr. Tom.

And speaking of writing out, the other character that seems to have been written out is Erica herself. And in the rare moments that she is on the screen, she is not herself. She is someone else that I don't recognise from the first two seasons. And she is scarcely any more likable than Adam is.

The show could have taken many different directions since The Rabbit Hole. I feel that it has probably taken one of the worst. This is indeed such a pity. I really liked this show.
