I wanted to like this series but it has too many failings. The most important part, the story is uninteresting and without attraction. It doesn't get any better either. The casting, is terrible. It looks like a diversity quota production. The main character is alright, but the script is horrible so he loses there too.Nice set pieces with a colour pallete ripped off from other movies and fiction.Getting through the climax of episode ten was a chore. None of the characters are likeable outside the Mexican uber woman and the lead. But they are barely likeable. Barely. Not enough to come back for season 2.Someone needs to tell these movie makers how physics work. A tiny girl throwing men twice her size across the room is not possible. There's a lot of May Sues in this production, which is becoming tiresome and repulsive.Re-do the story and decide whos story it is. Too much diversity is not a strength. Disorganized rubbish with a truly stunted plot line. It tried to appeal to every demographic and instead ends up in the ghetto. No riches to be had here.

I was hoping for much more from this show. It started nicely, unfortunately through the show, acting got annoyingly unbearable (specially Martha), characters got flat, music went south.... And all the Hollywood clichés destroyed the show..... Specially the Disney style happy ending........

This is the best Original Series I've seen anyone put out on any channel. It has everything and then some. If they do a second season I have no idea how they could better it. The acting was movie quality, the direction made you wonder why they weren't working on blockbusters and the storylines left nothing to want.

First two episodes are really impressive. You are getting ever more convinced the real cinematic experience moved to the tv shows. It looks solid, expensive and conceptual to some extent. This is however beginning to fade away with each following episode. You never reach the point you become sympathetic with any of the characters and their motives. They look pointless and predictable. The plot twists are predictable and it feels like they are strictly following a manual or a textbook without actually changing the examples. I am not familiar with the source but it seems it is not a very good one. Dialogues are rushing but they lack any real philosophy. Since the show is pretty gory and sexually explicit it is obviously not aimed at kids but it has no depth for adults. The "deus ex machina" touch is overused and it makes the whole tv show naive and boring. And the final blow comes with the forced samurai saga in the last few episodes. All in all a decent show but not a great one.
