I wanted to watch this since I never read any of Octavia Butler's books but I love SciFi. This started as an interesting story but some of the frustration I developed as I watched came right at the beginning. The main character, Dana is just not likeable. I felt for everyone else in the story except her. Also the story evolves really slowly, so the episodes get boring as nothing really important happens and information things that should be important doesn't come. Maybe I just found it hard to continue to pay attention since I didn't like Dana. I guess it's really the problem of time-travel shows where characters still act like they're in modern times. Same reason I didn't like Outlander that much. I hope to see the story get better maybe in subsequent seasons.
