I liked the ideas presented in this series. I liked the special effects. I liked many of the characters. If you like sci-fi, you will like this.
But, the story telling seemed real wonky. The average couch potato that takes his or her show watching seriously does so out of pleasure and not because they need an exercise in concentration. Following the plots and story lines took huge concentration and at the end of it all I'm still a bit confused to what all the open ended plots and story lines are all about. The story made sense but it all came down to a whole confusing mess. Perhaps they tried to hard to tell interesting stories that turned out to be quite bland.
Everybody likes a good story but to like it in the first place one needs to be able to follow it and not be constantly confused and grasping at straws to make sense of it all... The story needs to flow to you naturally and effortlessly. I could not find that here.
