The opening of episode one was a great hook. Pulled me in and had me interested...
But...
After that point, there wasn't any real "storytelling". There were a bunch of scenes strung together to hopefully make some sort of story.. but no ACTUAL storyline or overall plot.
No clue where it was going.. often bored by how it was getting there.
Sure some moments were humorous and Arquette does a great job with the role.. but.. it's meandering.. wandering.. seeking to find a reason. There is not clear plot.. no expectation for anything that's been foreshadowed.. no mystery to solve... no outcome to hope for... no future.
With about 5 minutes left in episode 4 I bailed.. bored to tears.. never to look back.
Why doesn't anyone focus on good storytelling any more??? It would appear most newer productions either want to make a puzzle out of any overall plot.. or just avoid any overall plot altogether. This series was the latter.
If I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel... it's a trap... not a tunnel. This.. this is a trap.
