Have just finished watching the third episode, and for me that is the last I will watch. It seems that the science fiction is just being used as a mechanic to tell whatever story pops into the writers head.
There is little internal consistency, and the characters and situations are portrayed in a whimsical way that seems to bear little resemblance to reality. This might be alright if it was a comedy or tolerable for a program aimed at children. For a 'mature' drama it is unacceptable.
*SPOILERS* Steal unknown technology and randomly use it - sure. Throw said unknown technology about and cause major consequences - sure. Have a secret organisation that is known by every single official force - sure. Have a high tech base with lots of locks you can just walk out of - sure. Have a gas based alien in a cell with holes in it - sure. Have a government agency which is a crew of 5 social misfits living in a batcave - sure. Have an invunrable hero who flinches when guns are pointed at him - sure. And so on... *SPOILERS END*
On the plus side, it occasionally made me laugh and the actors seem to be doing what they can.
There are many better shows out there at the moment.
5/10
